ActionSA welcomes the decision by the Public Service Commission to open an investigation based on our complaint against the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, over what appears to be blatant cadre deployment within the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure.

The allegations surrounding the appointment of the Chief Director: Executive Support in the Office of the Director-General paint a deeply disturbing picture of cadre deployment.

Evidence before us suggests that there was no public advertisement for the position, no properly constituted selection committee, and that the individual appointed may not even possess the qualifications required for such a senior role, but was rather appointed at the singular insistence of the Minister. If true, this would constitute a serious breach of Regulations 65 and 67 of the Public Service Regulations and a flagrant abuse of public office.

What makes this scandal even more hypocritical is that it involves the very same Democratic Alliance that spent years posturing as the moral crusader against cadre deployment. South Africans were lectured endlessly by the DA about merit, professionalism, and clean governance. Yet now, comfortably ensconced in the GNU, it appears those principles have been abandoned in favour of perks and rewarding politically connected comrades in blue.

ActionSA will continue to fight for a professional, merit-based, and capable public service that serves the people of South Africa not politicians and their friends.

We will support the Public Service Commission as it conducts a thorough and uncompromising investigation, with accountability to follow wherever wrongdoing is uncovered.

ActionSA Identity: Rejects racial mobilization, focusing on “meritocracy.”

  2. Van der Merwe goes to Paris to watch the Boks take on the Brits at the world cup.

    Whilst in Paris, he walks around, gaping and staring at everything – so much so that he walks smack bang into a fire hydrant which hits him so hard on the family jewels that he has to be rushed to hospital where the doctors tell him they have to remove his testicles.

    Van goes berserk, he bites and snarls at every one and he won\’t let anybody within 10 metres of him. Eventually they find a South African doctor in the hospital and get him to talk to Van.

    He walks up to Van and tells him \”Hey Van, die ouens moet jou knaters uithaal.\”

    Van replies \”O, okay, ek dog die bliksems wil my test tickets vat.\”
