A Letter of Complaint to His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa

Monday 10th November 2025

Dear Mr President, 

OFFICIAL COMPLAINT: MINISTER STEENHUISEN PROPOSED NOMINEE TO REPLACE MINISTER DION GEORGE

The Democratic Alliance leader and Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen has publicly proposed that Mr Willem Aucamp, National Spokesperson of the Democratic Alliance, replace Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Dion George.

Members of the Wildlife Animal Protection Forum South Africa (WAPFSA) are hereby raising an official complaint with regards to this proposal.  

In our view, Mr Willem Aucamp’s private interests could influence the state’s decision-making to his own advantage, by shaping laws to benefit himself.
