Cabinet has adopted a policy framework that ditches the ANC's controversial cadre deployment policy, which was slammed by the Zondo Commission as a key driver of state capture, and described as unconstitutional. | gerbjan
The DA has hailed this as a ground-breaking victory in its fight against cadre deployment, adding that government had now adopted a DA policy.
The framework actually goes further than what is stated in the implementation plan, clearly distancing government from cadre deployment. "The recommendation that the panel is making is that deployment practices ought to be ditched in favour of a merit-based recruitment and selection system, which it regards as key to building a capable, ethical and developmental state. This also contributes toward changing a surging negative public perception about employment practices in the public service.
ANC NEC member, and former Cabinet member Jeff Radebe, presented a report to the meeting on after leading a task team considering the Zondo report. A source said the task team led by Radebe had taken exception to Zondo's finding that its cadre deployment policy was unlawful and unconstitutional, News24 reported last week.
In his responding affidavit, ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile said the ANC was not bound by the Constitution or the commission's findings, while Ramaphosa contradicted the commission's findings, arguing that cadre deployment did not break the Constitution or Public Service Act.
