Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>DA leader John Steenhuisen has revealed the ANC is pleading for more time to release its cadre deployment records.<\/p>\n

The Constitutional Court gave the ANC until Monday February 19 to release its cadre deployment records to the DA. The records in question are of ANC\u2019s secret meetings where decisions on appointments of critical executives in government departments and other state departments took place.<\/p>\n

The DA approached the ConCourt to force the ANC to release the records from 2013 when President Cyril Ramaphosa was the head of the deployment committee.<\/p>\n

It was in these meetings, the DA believes, where the collapse of the state took place with the ANC choosing its most loyal cadres over qualified candidates.<\/p>\n

Steenhuisen revealed during the launch of his party\u2019s election manifesto that the ANC has come \u201ccrawling\u201d pleading to be given extra time.<\/p>\n

Steenhuisen however told the ANC his party rejected its request.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter delaying for more than three years following the DA\u2019s initial request for these records to be made public to expose Ramaphosa\u2019s role in state capture, the ANC yesterday came crawling back to the DA, begging us to give them more time,\u201d said Steenhuisen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to take this opportunity to respond to Ramaphosa and the ANC directly. No, you cannot get more time not to hand over these records, and not in government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steenhuisen said the ANC has wasted enough of South Africa\u2019s time over these records.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will comply with the Constitutional Court\u2019s order by handing over these records by 5pm on Monday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

If the ANC failed to meet this deadline, Steenhuisen said, the DA would approach the ConCourt for a contempt of court order and jail time for ANC leaders. \u201cIf you fail to do so, the DA will use the precedent set in the [former president Jacob] Zuma case to go back to court for a contempt order that includes prison time for each and every one of the ANC\u2019s leaders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANC is so desperate to hide Ramaphosa\u2019s cadre secrets that they are now threatening to trigger a constitutional crisis to protect him \u2014 just like they did with Zuma.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DA believes its case is important in fixing governance as the deployment committee is directly responsible to the mess the country finds itself in as they were directly appointing people to critical positions.<\/p>\n

The available deployment committee minutes showed, charged Steenhuisen, that the ANC ran an off-book process to appoint executives at SOEs, board members and government officials including deputy director-generals.<\/p>\n

This process disregarded or at least overruled the decisions of the appointment panels in government and key to the committee\u2019s decisions was whether the recommended person was an ANC member or at least affiliated to the party.<\/p>\n
