Second Cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa

The Second Cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa was formed on 29 May 2019 after President Ramaphosa was inaugurated for his first full-term as President of South Africa following the African National Congress's victory in the 2019 South African general election.[1] The cabinet was slightly reduced from 36 portfolios to only 28 portfolios due to the amalgamation of several departments.[2] The cabinet is the third cabinet in Africa to be made completely gender-equal in its composition and the first gender-equal cabinet in South African history.[3]
