A storm in exchange of words is brewing between the Democratic Alliance (DA) and it’s former officials over cadre deployment policies.

It is true that the Democratic Alliance practice cadre deployment. When I was Mayor of Midvaal between 2013-2021, the municipality couldn’t conclude a senior staff appointment without the APPROVAL of FEDEX.
It was standard procedure that all Mayors apply to get the approval of FEDEX before the Municipality would conclude the appointment. This practice hasn’t changed. If they have nothing to hide, they must release minutes of FEDEX and you will see that they practiced the same Cadre deployment that the ANC practiced.
Mayor of the uMngeni Municipality, Christopher Pappas entered the fold and responded to former Midvaal mayor and said Bongani is lying.
“As a mayor I have never had to get approval from any DA structure on appointments and hiring. The process is legislated and council appoints.
“In uMngeni most of the people who have been employed are ex-ANC/IFP administrators, hired without prejudice,” he tweeted.
