VEXED POLICY: ANC cadre deployment: A ‘cancer’ — or freedom of speech in action?

The ANC’s controversial policy of cadre deployment is in the spotlight this week, as the Pretoria High Court hears the DA’s application to have the policy declared unconstitutional. In court on Monday, the DA’s lawyer compared cadre deployment to a ‘cancer’ — while the ANC’s counsel maintained...

It's funny seeing the ANC's arguments here...

Seeing that she's super popular amongst the Twitterati, I'm just waiting patiently until she says or does something that doesn't please the Twitterati...

Then they'll hit her with the 1984 (the book) attitude of "Ramathuba? We've always hated Ramathuba"...

I thought what she was doing wasn't pleasing the Twitterati?

Anyway, South Africans are too clever for their own good, especially the larneys type who are criticising from their comfort zone, she is doing a job and well done to her for not being a coward and buckling down under pressure, we need strong people like her if we are to succeed as a country.

FTFY

Can agree here. Another situation where this comes up is with the DA's protest action tomorrow.

She's a bull in a china shop. But I get the feeling it's a show for her

OPINIONISTA: We are a nation that has surrendered itself to be led by fools – we need courageous and visionary leadership

Despite his failure to resolve the national question – race relations – General Jan Smuts conceived a vision for an industrial South Africa. He recognised that his vision would be a chimera if not anchored on a reliable and cheap electric supply and on steel production.

It results in better service delivery for the people so it's a good show.

Nah. The people she's yelling at forget about her as soon as she leaves

LMAO.

He said that should Phalatse be ousted, the party would support an ANC candidate for the mayoral position.
"We are not garden boys of the DA, and DA is not our 'baas'. That time is over, in case they are not aware," Kunene said.

"Garden boys", "baas"... Should fit in just fine in an ANC coalition... Oh wait, they already do that...

Hope she handles her ousting in a much more dignified manner that she did previously.

So in some ways I'm not necessarily in favour of incumbents being kicked out if the DA wins the case, but the actual policy and process needs to be kicked to the curb and the ANC needs to get the fsck out of the way of public service appointments.

What could be a vaguely amusing approach would be to implement a political party quota, so if the ANC has 52% of the vote, they should only be able to have ANC members occupying 52% of positions in the public service

I don't know who in the DA thinks like that, it's impossible to apply the finding retrospectively, no one is going to lose their job.

Well it would be more a case of if their appointment is deemed unconstitutional, then there is a chance they would have to vacate the position so it can be legally filled.

Eish, Ace wants to cause k@k now.

Good choice of words. 'Recording' and not beans. Now assassins will leave him alone and concentrate on zuma only.

If an appointment is made today and you go to court to challenge its constitutionality then it's possible that such an appointment can be reversed, in this case that won't be applicable because it would be impossible to retrospectively apply the ruling without prejudicing the beneficiaries.

So the DA is just full of the usual nonsense, no one is going to lose their job, if the ruling finds against the practice of cadre deployment it will be applicable from now going forward.
