DA access to cadre deployment records could be a blow to ANC

Zain Johnson speaks to Prof Ntsikelelo Breakfast, political analyst.

Listen to the interview in the audio below.

After a court ruling in the DA’s favour, the ruling party must hand over documents detailing cadre deployment to the opposition leaders.

This could be a blow to the ANC right before the national elections, when they are already on shaky ground.

These documents, which the ANC has been trying to conceal, could cement the links made by the Zondo Commission between cadre deployment and corruption.

Breakfast says that the DA is within its right to demand accountability as the decisions of the ANC have national consequences.

“The opposition party must be congratulated for a job well done.”

The court has given the ANC five working days to hand over this documentation.
