The Democratic Alliance (DA) says it seeks to get off the “cancer” that played a part in enabling state capture that is cadre deployment. 🗳️ politics
“This case is about the root of how it came about that – that tree was built… how that appointment was made taking into account the political considerations of a typical bonding. We are here to chop that cancer from the body politics.
“The cancer is that there is a policy to recommend to the state what it should do when it comes to appointees.”Katz disputed the ANC’s argument that the deployment committee just merely made recommendations rather than force ministers to appoint cadres that were selected. “There’s been no suggestion by any of the respondents that parts of this policy may be good, but bad parts, if the court were to come to the conclusion, can be cut away. There’s no suggestion of severability.”Katz further pointed out the ANC seeking an explanation on why their recommended candidate was rejected is trying to influence government appointments.
