There has been mixed reaction to his cabinet, with some applauding his inclusion of younger politicians, while others expressed shock at the removal of former education MEC Mthandeni Dlungwana, who has been replaced by Kwazi Mshengu.
Here's a snapshot of the reactions.
"Sihle Zikalala" I see his team is young, combination of experience as well. about 60% women. The younger the premier the younger the cabinet. this is what we want even at national.

It's also good the hard working Mxolisi Kaunda has been retained in his portfolio.The shocker for me is the removal of Mthandeni Dlungwana from Education replaced with Kwazi Mshengu, ANCYL man. Not to mention the unbelievable inclusion of Ms Peggy Nkoneyeni in cabinet.

Mthandeni Dlungwana was doing very well as a Minister of Education. I don't know what motivated Sihle Zikalala to replace him. I'm not sure if Kwazi Mshengu will able to deliver, but I'm not convinced... #KZNPremierInauguration #KZNCABINET

Sihle Zikalala will be a great leader in KZN. I feel like he has the biggest challenge of all Premiers. God bless this guy.
