The ANC in the Western Cape wants the DA to hand over all its deployment records - even those dating back to 2009.
The party held an urgent press briefing on Tuesday morning, in which it announced that it had submitted a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) application for the records to the DA.
Included in the records sought are SMSes, WhatsApp and Telegram messages, emails, and direct Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) messages to structures related to the appointment of public servants and officials in Western Cape municipalities and Western Cape government departments.
