Mantashe asked Ramaphosa not to give all his powers to electricity minister

that the creation of a new electricity ministry had shocked the president’s allies, including Mantashe. The move was seen by Ramaphosa’s inner circles as an effort to contain his two most powerful cabinet ministers, Mantashe and Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, who were battling for control over electricity.

“We are pleased to appoint someone of Mzila’s experience and ability. He has, in his three decades of involvement in the mining and financial industries, garnered the experience the Minerals Council needs for its next chapter in a rapidly changing world,” council president Nolitha Fakude said in a statement.
