The governing party has five working days to hand over the full records of its Cadre Deployment Documents dating back to 1 January 2013, to the Democratic Alliance., The ANC must provide its whole cadre deployment records includes the release of minutes, CVs, records, WhatsApp messages, and emails
The governing party turned to the apex court after the Supreme Court of Appeal, in September, last year dismissed the its application for leave to appeal citing “no reasonable prospects of success”
The ANC has been ordered to cover costs associated with the legal proceedings.
The DA’s Leon Schreiber says the latest ruling will force the ANC to reveal exactly how the so-called cadre deployment committee laid the foundation for state capture by interfering in public appointment processes.
“It also sets a powerful new precedent that empowers all South Africans to use the Promotion of Access to Information Act to force the ANC to reveal how it interferes in appointments.
The ANC Spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri says The ANC will study the judgement to ensure that it is adhered to accordingly
