DA plans to apply for ANC’s cadre deployment records
The DA says it will now pursue the same records from provincial and regional committees.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) says it will now submit applications for provincial cadre deployment records from the ANC’s nine provincial and dozens of regional cadre deployment committees.
Using the precedent created in the DA’s Constitutional Court victory, which ordered the ANC to hand over complete records of its national cadre deployment committee, the party says it will now pursue the same records from provincial and regional committees.
30 DAYS TO COMPLY WITH THE APPLICATION SAYS DA
“In terms of PAIA, the ANC has 30 days to comply with the DA’s application, which is based on the exact same rationale that led to our Constitutional Court victory,” says the DA.
It says: “If the ANC fails to comply, the DA will see them back in court in 30 days. Just like we did in exposing the records of the national cadre deployment committee, the DA will defeat any attempt by the ANC to hide these provincial and regional records, because it is in the public interest to see how the ANC unlawfully interferes in public sector appointments which hollow out the state, facilitate corruption, and cripple the delivery of services to citizens.”
‘PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COLLAPSE IS NO ACCIDENT’
The DA says just like at national level, it is clear that the collapse of provincial and local government wherever the ANC is in power is no accident.
“It is the consequence of a carefully-designed ANC racket to capture, corrupt and collapse all spheres of government in South Africa. The DA reiterates our call to all citizens to help us rescue South Africa from ANC cadre deployment corruption by voting for the DA on 29 May,” the party said.
CADRE DEPLOYMENT CAUSED THE COLLAPSE OF NATIONAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS
The DA says it will submit a fresh PAIA applications to the ANC to obtain meeting minutes, a list of decisions, WhatsApp conversations, email threads, CVs, and all other documents relevant to the work of all regional and provincial cadre deployment committees dating back to 1 January 2013, when Ramaphosa became the national chairman of this political racketeering syndicate.
“The implications of these revelations could not be more serious. In addition to the national ANC cadre deployment committee that captured, corrupted, and collapsed national government departments, state-owned enterprises, and other national institutions,” the party said.
