Confirmation that the party’s deployment committee was discussing and attempting to influence judicial appointments is a warning that state capture was not just a Gupta or Zuma-era phenomenon and, given the president’s defence of it, that it continues. Sadly, this should come as no surprise. As cadre deployment was being introduced, an article in party journal spoke of the need to extend control of the “national liberation movement” and “over all levers of power: the army, the police, the bureaucracy, intelligence structures, the judiciary, parastatals, and agencies such as regulatory bodies, the public broadcaster, the central bank and so on”.
