Corruption and cadre deployment are killing the country
What is a “party hack”? Is it someone who puts party before country? Similarly, is cadre deployment a policy of putting party before country?Last week Kevin McCarthy was elected speaker of the House of Representatives in the US. After being elected, he said: “
As speaker of the House my ultimate responsibility is not to my party. Our responsibility is to our country.” That, I believe, is the correct attitude for a senior public official whose salary is paid by the taxpayer. In attending to municipal chaos in Mangaung, newly elected ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said strict steps would be taken against ANC councillors who co-operate with the opposition. Surely that qualifies as a “party hack” statement? Equally, the repeated commitment by President Cyril Ramaphosa to cadre deployment?
South Africa’s problems of corruption and inefficiency are facilitated by a mindset of “party before country”. As that is the oft-repeated ANC approach, the public should realise that the time of ANC government is over.
