South Africa’s new president Cyril Ramaphosa has compiled a hit list of top ministers he plans to recall as he settles into office. It includes finance minister Malusi Gigaba and controversial mining minister Mosebenzi Zwane.

New broom Ramaphosa – who promises to clean up corruption – is clearly trying to consolidate his new position by jettisoning loyalists put into cabinet in the last days of former President Jacob Zuma’s rule. Ramaphosa was sworn in on Thursday in Parliament after embattled former President Zuma resigned on February 14 at the eleventh hour.
