The Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies (formerly Minister of Communications, Minister of Posts, Telecommunications and Broadcasting and Minister of Posts and Telecommunications) is a minister in the Government of South Africa, responsible for overseeing the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies.
In May 2014 President Jacob Zuma split the ministry by establishing the position of Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services alongside the Minister of Communications. However, in a cabinet reshuffle in November 2018, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the reversal of the split, absorbing the telecommunications and postal services functions back into the Ministry of Communications.[3] The respective departments did not merge until after the 2019 general election.[4] After the election Ramaphosa renamed the office as the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies.[5]
