ANC blocks DA’s ‘undesirable’ anti-cadre deployment bill in Parliament
The EFF criticized the ANC-led government for ‘crippling’ the public sector on Tuesday.
The African National Congress (ANC) has used its majority in Parliament to reject a Democratic Alliance (DA)-sponsored bill that sought to address the political influence within the public sector.
The Public Administration Laws General Amendment Bill was first tabled in 2021 by DA’s MP Leon Schreiber.
The draft legislation aims to make it a criminal offense to interfere in appointments and prohibit political office-bearers from employment in the public sector.
Furthermore, the bill further sought to enhance the financial and administrative independence of the Public Service Commission (PSC).
It also proposed to mandate the PSC to enforce merit-based appointments.
‘Similar aspects’
Speaking in the National Assembly on Wednesday, Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration chairperson Teliswa Mgweba said that through the public participation process, it was found that the bill clashed with other legislation already in the works.
Mgweba highlighted that the Public Administration Management Amendment Bill and the Public Service Amendment Bill addressed “similar aspects” the DA’s “undesirable” bill seeks to achieve.

That our government is even arguing the point of cadre deployment, is astonishing.
In your face arrogance. But while they are playing these games, our country is burning and the dreams of our children is disappearing.
Let them fight their own battle when they grow up, while we are feeding the beast that is stripping the country of opportunity for the youth. Although it sounds very wrong, this is what we are currently doing.
Tomorrow, we will have to answer to our children, not the anc.
