“Considerable unrest”: Pistorius is causing trouble in his ministry with his reform plans. Around 225 positions will sooner or later be eliminated as a result of the restructuring.

150 of these will reportedly be eliminated and 75 others will be moved to subordinate departments. The aim of the reform is an “agile, efficient and effective house” to fulfill the core mission of national and alliance defense, a ministry spokeswoman said. According to the report, there should be a maximum of three subdivisions per department.
