JOHANNESBURG - The battle for cadre deployment documents between the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the African National Congress (ANC) continues with the DA now taking legal action against the ruling party’s Secretary General Fikile Mbalula.
The party said it filed papers with the Johannesburg High Court citing Mbalula as being in contempt of court.
It said Mbalula failed to comply with a Constitutional Court order to hand over complete cadre deployment records.
“By refusing to be bound by an order upheld by the Constitutional Court, the ANC risks triggering a full-blown constitutional crisis. The only way to avert this urgent risk to our constitutional order on the eve of a general election is for the DA’s application to succeed” said DA MP Leon Schreiber.
