South Africa’s cabinet, on Wednesday, became the third on the African continent to have an equal number of female and male ministers. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the new line-up after he led the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party to victory in elections earlier this month. According to the AFP, he cut cabinet ministers from 36 to 28 to tackle “bloated” government and improve efficiency while his historic appointment of more women in the cabinet was aimed at achieving gender diversity.
