An acknowledgement that the ANC is undermining the Constitution
20 January 2020
We take note of the political promise and undertakings in the weekly newsletter of the President, Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, about the termination of cadre deployment. Although it falls pleasingly on the ear, it is problematic that the President’s opinion is that this is a decision which rests on him and his government.
In his newsletter, the President said:
“We are committed to end the practice of poorly qualified individuals being parachuted into positions of authority through political patronage. There should be consequences for all those in the public service who do not do their work.”
However, through this newsletter it is an acknowledgement that the ANC had contravened the provisions of the Constitution by deploying cadres.
