In his latest newsletter, President Cyril Ramaphosa recycles the same empty words he has used countless times before to declare his supposed commitment to building a professional public service. Unfortunately, his latest 900 word article is nearly identical to a newsletter he published more than a year ago.

John Steenhuisen writes that the DA s End Cadre Deployment Bill took over a year to develop and holds the key to replacing the country s captured state with a capable state.
After two and a half years of testimony, the recent and ongoing revelations at the Zondo commission have revealed that the ANC s policy of cadre deployment is the fundamental cause of state capture and corruption in our country.
This system of job reservation sets aside powerful positions in the civil service - which are supposed to be staffed by skilled and non-political professionals - for ANC members who have proven themselves loyal to the party, rather than to the country.
The DA says the policy robs the public service of desperately needed skills because it locks out highly skilled professionals, who are not members of the ANC, from key positions.
