Sfiso Norbert Buthelezi (born 1961) is a South African politician and a member of the country's ruling party the African National Congress.[2]
Buthelezi was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Finance after president Jacob Zuma reshuffled his cabinet and removed the Minister and Deputy Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan and Mcebisi Jonas in April 2017.[3] He was the first CEO of the National Gambling Board before joining Makana Investment.
When Jacob Zuma resigned as the President of South Africa on 14 of February 2018 there was much media speculation that Buthelezi would be removed from Cyril Ramaphosa's cabinet.
