ANC given five days to release contentious cadre deployment records to DA

Luthuli House basement flooding 2.0 loading...

I would love to see who the records on the cadre deployment indicate were forced on us ratepayers in Ekhurhuleni. The city manager has already been found guilty by the public protector of illegally appointing cadres without the required competence and qualifications and was supposed to be disciplined for it (I have never been able to get information on whether she was disciplined and, if she was, what her punishment was). The real test is how we can hold the persons responsible for the illegal appointments and the appointed cadres to account, will they or the ANC be liable for the costs of the salaries that we made as ratepayers and how do we recover such? And how can we prevent these illegal activities from ever happening again as the cost to the country is immeasurable (just think of the billions that the previous minister of transport cost us taxpayers because he was incapable of making proper decisions and protecting our infrastructure).

And they expect the ANC to be honest about this? BWHAHAHA!!! Schreiber has more of a chance of falling pregnant.

A great result!

Good. You can run but, you can't hide ..Thank you DA. Afumanekile lamasela .

Thank u DA

Great news for a Monday afternoon - I'm rubbing my hands in glee!

I wonder if the ANC would have kept all those records.

More chickens coming home to roost.

Now let’s see what’s under the carpet. Will be messy.

Oh sorry, the dog ate our homework - nothing to see here

Doubt that anything in this will make the slightest difference to the true believers who vote for them regardless.

Well that's a lot of homework for the dog to get through in 5 days, but I'm sure they will make a plan.

Shredding machine is working overtime ! Vote DA !

I don't have a dog in the fight here, but really? Does anybody think that if we have President John Steenhuizen then the DA won't be at least trying to have a say in these appointments? Or ActionSA. Or the EFF. Or whoever else you would like to see running the country or thinks might run the country. You'd quickly find minutes recording, for obvious example, that Mrs Zille complained that one of the short listed candidates was a bit too woke.

Well done DA. Accountability Now!

Next up : the documents are released but redacted so as to be useless. If there were actual minutes or recordings, it would make for a good soap opera when the candidate comrade cadres get to read/listen to what the cadre committee had to say about comrade cadre A vs B vs C for position X.

This is a great win for the DA and decent, honest citizens, but who are we kidding that we’ll ever get to see these documents? The cadres aren’t as stupid as they look - they shredded them ages ago, or maybe Squirrel has used them as stuffing in his couches.

The President and SG are busy eating the minutes, along with their dogs

Excellent news, thank you! Cadre deployment certainly is the poison that has promoted state capture, corruption, and maladministration to destroy the country. It must be banned in section 193 of the Constititution and criminalized in the Public Service Act to bring the scourge to an end and for the country to have a hope of recovering.

How sure will the DA be that it gets the entire material it's looking for? The ANC has been roundly condemned for it's dishonesty and racial profiling in handing out jobs to cadres over many years. This would be OK if the jobs were given to people who were qualified, experienced, and conscientious, but the dire straits the country is now in, exposes the rot of people being employed regardless of qualifications or merit. Party loyalty bought thousands of cushy, highly paid jobs which resulted in chaos in all our SOE's and elsewhere. Strength to the DA. May their efforts result in the eniding of these treasonous political favours.

So now the NC will have to resort toillegal moves to hide the truth. What's new>

Interesting - I have no doubt that other parties and cadres themselves will be just as interested. Reaches for popcorn and hope the opening act doesnt take too long.

....and we all read this with much anticipation forgetting that most of the potential voters are not reading the same news, and if they are will have some excuse why the ANC behaviour is acceptable, or simply don't give a toss. The principle of cadre deployment the the ANC context is gravy train enrichment and protection from reality or incrimination.

Did they keep records?

No doubt the shredding machines in the basement of Luthuli House is hard at work. One cannot accept that the ANC will release the documents, it is just not in their DNA. I must admit I am elated that the DA triumphed here, in their quest for the cadre deployment documents. The success will be that the documents are handed over within 5 days, as instructed, but then, this may be wishful thinking.

No comment. Wish to read comments please.

I applaud the DA for their actions and Mr Schreiber in particular. What I would however be interested to know is whether the DA believe (a) the ANC kept any proper records and (b) if so, whether they are confident this will be released to them in full? I have to assume that Mr Schreiber has already anticipated 'this is only the beginning and not the end of the story' and has some kind of strategy if the ANC comes back with 'sorry, but the dog ate it' excuse? Sorry, but can't see the ANC complying fully with this judgement - it would be just to damning

This is only part of what we would like to see. Consequences with payment for all the billions stolen and wasted by these cronies.

For me, I would go straight for the records relating to Hlaudi Motseneng. He was appointed as COO of the SABC approximately in 2014 and was clearly utterly hopelessly and absolutely unqualified. He was barely literate. But he set about on day one to intentionally capture and destroy the public broadcaster. He was way more than a buffoon He was put there on purpose. By Ramaphosa.

So? We all know they've been doing it. It's not illegal. It's going to make no difference at all.

I am unconvinced that we will see those documents. The ANC has never shown respect for the legalities of our constitution and by implication the constitutional court or we wouldn’t be in our current mess. However well done done DA and triply well done to our courts where it appears cadre deployment failed!

The discussions leading to Weekend Special appointment should be comedy gold.

Once the cadres, commies and comrades list us handed over there ought to be a public rogues gallery set up online, with all the names and identity numbers of all the miscreants who have looted the country's coffers, and the amounts they stole. They all need to be exposed so that the local populace can see how their 'brothers' are screwing them over, and international interests can see exactly who they are getting into bed with when try come knocking to do an investment deal.

It's a victory indeed not only for a DA but in terms of strengthening the democracy as we have noticed that some of those deployed doesn't meet departments requirements and this is what's killing the departments head to make a sober decisions as always feel threatened.

Needless to say....99% of the records will mysteriosly 'disappear'

Thank you, DA! Just this one correction will save SA billions.
