# Axed minister of Fisheries, Forestry and Environment, Dion George, says he carried out his ministerial duties without fear, favour or prejudice. President Cyril Ramaphosa removed him from his post on Wednesday and replaced him with Willie Aucamp. DA leader John Steenhuisen dismissed reports that the decision to dismiss George was prompted by misconduct or underperformance. George says conservation is not a position, it’s a lifelong commitment, adding that he will continue to support this cause wherever he is called to serve.
