And now, Mildred Oliphant resigns as MP
13 June 2019
Mildred Oliphant has joined a long list of former ministers, who failed to make President Cyril Ramaphosa's new Cabinet, to resign as an ordinary Member of Parliament.
Nonceba Mhlauli, spokesperson in the office of the ANC chief whip, confirmed to News24 that the former labour minister had officially tendered her resignation.
She joins a growing list of ANC MP's who have bowed out in recent weeks after being left out of President Cyril Ramaphosa's recently formed Cabinet.
Fourteen members of the previous Cabinet did not make it into Ramaphosa's new Cabinet announced in May.
