Amendment on section 92 (2) Dr Naidoo proposes that section 92 (2) of the Constitution should be amended because it implies that the Cabinet is accountable only to Parliament and not to the President. The Committee, having deliberated on this issue, was of the opinion that the section, as it stands, does not purport that Members of the Cabinet are accountable only to Parliament and not to the President. The Committee considered the provision in section 85 (1) of the Constitution, which provides that the executive authority of the Republic is vested in the President; and section 83 (1) of the Constitution, which amplifies this provision by providing that the President is the Head of State and Head of the national executive. In addition, section 91 (1) of the Constitution provides that the President, the Deputy President and Ministers comprise the Cabinet, with the President holding the position of head of the Cabinet. Therefore, even though the Deputy President and Ministers are responsible for the powers and functions assigned to them by the President, the fact that the President is the "head" of the Cabinet intrinsically imparts a "master and servant" relationship, i.e. the Members of the Cabinet being subordinate to the Head of the Cabinet. In this instance, the Members of the Cabinet are subordinate to the President. This is further implied by the fact that the President has the constitutional power to appoint and dismiss Members of the Cabinet. This "master and servant" relationship is further enhanced by the fact that the parties have entered into performance agreements. In light of the above, the Committee is of the opinion that members of the Cabinet are therefore responsible and accountable to the President for powers and functions he assigns to them.
