The ANC’s secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has hit back at the Democratic Alliance over the ruling party’s cadre deployment policy, saying the DA was also using the same policy where it governs to advance its agenda.
The DA lost an application in the High Court in Pretoria in which it wanted the cadre deployment policy to be declared unconstitutional and unlawful.
This was after its victory in the Constitutional Court to force the ANC to hand over records of the cadre deployment committee.
The ANC this week handed over some of the records, but it said it could not find records of meetings of the committee between 2012 and 2017.
This was the same position that was raised by the party at the Zondo Commission in 2021 when President Cyril Ramaphosa appeared before it.
