On this note, on the DA podcast (I don't listen to any kind of podcast usually, I got sick of my usual playlist on Spotify) when they hosted Solly Malatsi (Minister of DCDT), he talked about how non-ANC ministers can't really pursue their own proper policies because then the civil servants in the department (who are ANC-aligned for the most part, let's be real) get real antsy.Because of the precedent set.
The moment some indy businessman or something is elected mayor, etc, you can bet your arse the ANC stacked civil service will try to stifle 'em every step of the way.
And then you haven't got to the rampant corruption...
When all is said and done, you're removed over bullshit and some ANC-aligned oke takes your place.
Even said how one civil servant challenged him on a proposed policy directive by saying, "This is not how it was done in the previous administration"
