Could I have thought up a cornier heading for my announcement of the new cabinet - I think not.
Well here it is:
Deputy President – Compmage
Minister of Finance - Hireshmont Vellos
Minister of Safety and Security - Ryan Dagari (Homeland Security)
Minister of Minerals and Energy - Balon Swann
Minister of Intelligence – Black8Shadow
Minister of Education: Erdwurm
Yes, there are a few missing. It seems our government is still relaxing after the election (Don't worry I'll soon sort them out.) I'll announce the following as soon as they have been confirmed.
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Minister of Defense
Minister of Health
There may also be one other position still to follow. In the absence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs I have also appointed Taylor Sawyer as the Ambassador to Australia.
We are not here to rule the country - We are here to serve it. I remind all South Africans and the new ministers about this. We are to remember this point as we carry out our duty to this great nation.
Some of you may not agree with all my choices for Ministers or the ones to follow but I encourage you to work together for the good of the country. I have in some cases purposely chosen people who don't always agree with me. These different views will make the country stronger. After we have discussed and issue and a final decision is made, we must all get behind that decision even if we don't totally agree with that decision.
Thank you Ministers for you support and willingness to serve the country in this way.

Dude, why have you split the military up into three different ministries?! Homeland Security, Intelligence and Defence should be bundled together into one Ministry of Defence as it was before! This is going to turn the whole effort regarding South Africa's defence into a gigantic mass of red tape! We don't need ministers all over the place!
I STRONGLY appeal your decision to have a separate minister of intelligence, 'safety and security', and defence.
Letting everyone know there was an intelligence ministry wasn't the smartest thing to do.
And since its out there I might as well let everyone know that I started it, that I founded it with my own money, paid out of my pocket for several weeks amounting to 12g in moving tickets and food, and now he wants me to let someone else come in and take over when i'm done teaching them. Not very keen in my mind.
And Austerion is right! This is just putting a massive strain and slowing down of information throughput the military! Things were fine the way they were before, streamlined and anyone who was the appropriate rank could see what was going on in the world.
Splitting up an area that all has to do with the same concept (Int ministry was started SO THE MILITARY AND POLITICIANS KNEW WHAT SMART MOVES TO MAKE) and putting them into three categories is just a waste of time. It will bog down the entire process, and will prevent successful outcomes from the area.
I thank the President for the appointment, but would also like to echo the concerns of Austerion and Dagari. Those three ministries are more properly departments within one greater function. Similarly, I would suggest that the Minerals and Energy post (as I assume it will primarily be directed at the diamond industry) be made a department of the Ministry of Finance (which is essentially a ministry of the economy, due to the RBSA loan-making and price stability function).
Mmmmm - looks like i'm going to have to explaine what the diffrent Ministries will have to do - ok next article will have a brief job discription of each so we're all on the same page. But Austerion and Dagari check my mails to you - i'm sure i have been clear about this including the handing over thing.
Thanks for all the comments
I thank you for the responsibility you've given me, and hope I can do you, congress and all South Africans proud.
I haven't acquainted myself with Compmage, Balon Swann, Black8Shadow or Erdwurm, but I'll do it first opportunity.
Thank you for my appointment Mr President, I am here to serve the Nation as best I can. I hope the other parties my come to terms with the appointment and we could all work together for the good of our nation.
Black8Shadow, why should I give you the intelligence ministry. Seriously, how are you going to make anything work better in it. BTW if you don't want to be like browski you should actually pm it to me and not comment.
Ryan I did not ask you for yours, I made one people can see! As for your comment "Letting everyone know there was an intelligence ministry wasn't the smartest thing to do." you just confirmed it!!! Not the smartest thing to do really by you(Ryan), you should have just not said anything, also your open disagreement and tone with our President seem a bit like insubordination that goes for Brendan to refering too the President as "Dude". Nearly all Govs in eRep has an Intelligence Agency of some sorts its no secret! What they do however could be kept sercet. This will be the last I have to say in public on this matter.
"Letting everyone know there was an intelligence ministry wasn't the smartest thing to do." you just confirmed it!!! Not the smartest thing to do really by you(Ryan)
Well you know, when people see that the PRESIDENT confirmed their is an int ministry I think people will take the PRESIDENT's word over RYAN DAGARI's.
And you know what? I dont go subordinate. I do not confirm towards accepting someone as a complete superior. There is nothing saying he is superior to me, he can't punish me at all. All he could posisbly do is talk bad about me and say I'm not in the cabinet, but that doesn't change the fact im here and im here to stay.
If people don't like the way I respond to things that's their problem, I will come straight forward with you, don't expect me to act all fancy in a game where you get banned for saying damn.
