Johannesburg - Deputy Minister of Economic Development Enoch
Godongwana has resigned from his position in order to pursue personal interests,
the presidency said on Sunday.
Spokesperson Mac Maharaj said Godongwana's last day would be on
Monday.
"The president has accepted the resignation and thanked
the deputy minister for his dedicated service and duty to his portfolio and to
the national executive in general," he said in a statement.
Godongwana is a member of the ANC's Economic Transformation
Committee.
He was previously the deputy minister of public enterprises
and had served as a member of the provincial legislature in the Eastern Cape.
President Jacob Zuma said Godongwana's work experience and expertise would not be entirely lost to the public but would be used elsewhere in pursuing the goal of a meaningful economic transformation.
