EFF accuses Public Works minister of making partisan appointments to senior positions

# The EFF is accusing Public Works and Infrastructure minister, Dean Macpherson, of embarking on a mission to appoint unqualified individuals who are aligned to the DA into key roles without due process. These appointments include the department’s chief director of Stakeholder Management in the director-general’s office, Sean Cox, and Michael Beyleveld, currently the minister’s chief of staff. The EFF says the recent appointments made by minister Macpherson expose the government of national unity’s true nature, a corrupt arrangement where political elites prioritise cronyism over merit.
