Masemola will take over from Khehla Sitole who reportedly did not get along with Cele, a problem that Ramaphosa expressed concern over.

From there we can determine who is competent and who is not competent. There’s a need to go through a process of determining who has been involved in any form of corruption,” adds Cameron.
