Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema is holding a press briefing where he is expected to address the recent cabinet reshuffling.

President Jacob Zuma effected his latest Cabinet reshuffle on Thursday; a merry-go-round that saw no less than 10 changes to his ministers alone.

In the biggest move‚ finance minister Pravin Gordhan was axed and replaced by Malusi Gigaba‚ formerly the home affairs head honcho.

Zuma also fired Tina Joemat-Petterson and replaced her with ANC MP Mmamoloko Nkhensani Kubayi as energy minister.
