The shadow cabinet has subsequently been reshuffled on two occasions namely 18 June 2015 and 3 October 2015.
In his capacity of DA leader, Mmusi Maimane leads the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet. Elected alongside Maimane was John Steenhuisen, as Chief Whip, and Anchen Dreyer as Chairperson of the Caucus.
