The Mail&Guardian reported that Dlamini had been appointed to the position by Human Settlements Minister Lindiwe Sisulu. She starts in the position in November.
Her alleged appointment has taken many by surprise especially because of how controversial Dlamini served as minister. She had overseen the disastrous handling of the social grants crisis and she had been found wanting by the Constitutional Court. The court ruled in 2018 that she should be held personally liable for the poor handling of the grants crisis. It slapped her with a 20% cost order. This ruling was issued after an inquiry was held to probe the grants crisis.
The controversy around her appointment stems from her questionable methods in running the department of social development. Dlamini is the president of the ANC Women’s League and her appointment may be seen as a political move. She had been left out of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Cabinet. This was after she was reshuffled from social development to minister for women in Ramaphosa's last administration.
