# ActionSA says president Cyril Ramaphosa must fire all 42 deputy ministers, not just one. This follows Ramaphosa’s removal of the DA’s Andrew Whitfield from his role as deputy minister of Trade, Industry and Competition. Action SA argues the president missed a crucial opportunity to remove ministers linked to corruption or poor performance, including Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, Nobuhle Nkabane and Thembi Simelane. Spokesperson Athol Trollip says the current cabinet is bloated and ineffective.
