The Democratic Alliance (DA) has rejected the ANC’s request to be granted an extension to hand over cadre deployment records following a court order.
DA leader John Steenhuisen has warned the ANC to hand over cadre deployment records by Monday, or if they fail to do so, they will return to court to seek a contempt order against leaders of the ruling party.
