Cape Town - Former Western Cape MEC for finance and economic affairs Lynne Brown was sworn in as premier of the province on Friday.
Brown, who replaces outgoing Premier Ebrahim Rasool, was sworn in during a special sitting of the provincial legislature.
Addressing members of the legislature during her acceptance speech, Brown ruled out any drastic changes in the provincial government under her leadership, saying the "do not fix that which is not broken" principle will underpin her tenure as premier of the province.
Brown thanked Rasool for providing outstanding leadership to the provincial government.
"He worked hard and showed leadership and vision," she said.
