The Democratic Alliance (DA) can today announce that we will now submit applications as per the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) to obtain and expose all minutes and 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, we will now pursue the same records from provincial and regional committees following evidence from the State Capture Commission, and a series of documents leaked to the DA which confirm the existence of these committees across provincial and municipal party structures.
The DA made the announcement today at an event in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng where we unveiled our billboard calling on voters to outlaw cadre deployment by voting for the DA on 29 May in South Africa’s General Election. The message on the billboard is simple: “Crush Corruption. Outlaw Cadre Deployment. Vote DA.”
