South African Environment Minister Dion George Set to Lose His Post

South Africa’s Fisheries, Forestry and Environment Minister Dion George looks likely to lose his post after his party, the Democratic Alliance, proposed that he be replaced by its spokesman, Willie Aucamp.

George was asked to become deputy trade minister, “but he didn’t see that as an option for himself” and lawmaker Alexandra Abrahams had been recommended for that position, DA leader John Steenhuisen said in an interview on Monday, adding that a final decision will rest with President Cyril Ramaphosa.
