The DA is eyeing 11 Cabinet positions and their deputies, along with directors-general in the departments it gains, and the “reviewing” of all tenders for those departments since the president promulgated the election.
This is according to a letter, seen by News24, to ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula, sent by DA federal executive chairperson Helen Zille on Sunday morning.
