Executive Council of the Western Cape

Following his election as Premier in the 2004 general election, Ebrahim Rasool announced his new Provincial Cabinet on 30 April 2004.[1] On 26 July 2005, he announced a reshuffle affecting three portfolios, in which two new Provincial Ministers were appointed – one incumbent, Chris Stali, was fired, and another, Mcebisi Skwatsha, had resigned to take up the full-time position of Provincial Secretary of the African National Congress (ANC).[2]

Lynne Brown was sworn in as Premier in July 2008 after the incumbent, Ebrahim Rasool, resigned at the request of the ANC, his political party. Later the same week, she announced a wide-ranging cabinet reshuffle in which four new provincial ministers were appointed and most others changed portfolios, leaving only one minister, Cobus Dowry, in his initial position.[3][4] Brown fired two ministers who had been viewed as aligned to Rasool – Leonard Ramatlakane and Richard Dyantyi – and one of Rasool's other ministers, Tasneem Essop, had resigned in the aftermath of Rasool's own departure.[5]

On 23 May 2019, following his election in the 2019 general election, Premier Alan Winde announced his new cabinet.[15] On 24 May 2021, he appointed Daylin Mitchell as Provincial Minister for Transport and Public Works after the former incumbent, Bonginkosi Madikizela, resigned amid a qualifications fraud scandal.[16] In early 2022, two vacancies arose in the cabinet after Albert Fritz was fired from the Community Safety portfolio[17] and Debbie Schäfer resigned from the Education portfolio.[18] On 22 April that year, Winde announced a reshuffle that would fill the vacancies and create two newly reconfigured portfolios, Mobility and Infrastructure.[19][20] In February 2023, Winde appointed Ricardo Mackenzie as the Minister of Mobility after Daylin Mitchell was elected speaker of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament.[21]
