Public outrage continues as Steenhuisen faces criticism for hiring individuals with questionable backgrounds, raising serious concerns about governance and integrity in his ministry.
EFF vows to expose corruption within the Agriculture Department, demanding accountability for John Steenhuisen ’s leadership failures and controversial staff choices. File Picture: Timothy Bernard / Independent NewspapersThe Economic Freedom Fighters has criticised the Democratic Alliance’s John Steenhuisen , the Minister of Agriculture , for what it called incompetence and corruption during his first 100 days in office.
“His nominations of Annette Steyn, Una Christians, Charity McCord, and Mr Kruger are an insult to the hard-working and qualified South Africans who are being overlooked in favour of Steenhuisen’s politically connected friends,” said the party. Leigh-Ann Mathys, the EFF’s national spokesperson said:"Steenhuisen's blatant disregard for the rules governing public office appointments is an insult to hard-working South Africans. His actions not only delay the finalisation of crucial appointments but also hinder the payment of workers' salaries, which is completely unacceptable."
They argue that his insistence on appointing politically connected individuals over qualified candidates is hypocritical, as the DA publicly denounces cadre deployment, while engaging in similar practices behind closed doors.
