Ramaphosa’s announcement follows weeks of speculation that he would reshuffle his cabinet.
Former Health Minister, Zweli Mkhize, who had been on special leave since June, had earlier resigned as minister.
He was implicated in a Special Investigative Unit (SIU) investigation into an irregular R150 million tender awarded to Digital Vibes by the health department.
Finance Minister Tito Mboweni had asked to be replaced after taking up the position in 2018.
