This took place during the first Cabinet meeting yesterday. The PM and Cabinet
ministers meet every Tuesday to deliberate on issues of government. These
meetings include, but not limited to, deliberating on different draft Bills
before they are tabled in Parliament by line ministers, deliberating on
policies, strategic plans, among other governmental issues. The meeting was
chaired by the PM, who is the official chairman of these meetings.

Government Spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo confirmed the meeting and further
stated that the PM took the opportunity to outline his term’s vision.
“Cabinet met for the first time today, Tuesday, November 21, 2023 (yesterday).
The PM took the opportunity of the Cabinet meeting and outlined his vision for
the next five years,” he said. Nxumalo said the PM would also take the nation
into confidence and brief it on his vision. According to sources, the PM tasked
all the ministers to ensure that they aligned with all the points that were
raised during the recent Sibaya, which the King stated should be used to inform
policies each ministry had, in ensuring they fulfilled their mandate. Improving
service delivery and ensuring timely turnaround of all government projects and
services was also among the many discussions that the PM highlighted.
