Former safety and security minister and former defence minister Charles Nqakula will be Zuma's political adviser, while former trade and industry minister Mandisi Mpahlwa will serve as economic adviser.
Zuma's international relations adviser will be ANC national executive committee (NEC) member and former ambassador to Brazil, Lindiwe Zulu, while advocate Bonisiwe Makhene has been appointed legal adviser.
Makhene is currently deputy chief state law adviser in the Justice and Constitutional Development Department and will be seconded to the Presidency to perform the legal advisory role.
ANC NEC member and MP Ayanda Dlodlo has been appointed Zuma's parliamentary counsellor.
"The advisers bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the Presidency and will add much value to the President's determination to bring about faster change and improved service delivery," the Presidency said in a statement.
Mpahlwa, Nqakula and Zulu would resign from Parliament to take up their respective positions.
