DA Leader John Steenhuizen has reportedly approached President Cyril Ramaphosa to fire Dr Dion George, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and Environmental Affairs (DAFF).
In a letter written to the President, Steenhuizen reportedly said George is slow to implement country strategies in line with global climate change ones.
This is despite a country plan submitted to UNFCCC last week at a Leaders Summit in Belem, Brazil.

He has also intervened in environmental crimes such as the regulation of wildlife trade.
