# The ANC says minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Solly Malatsi, must appear before Parliament to account for the draft National Artificial Intelligence Policy. The minister withdrew the policy after it was discovered that six sources referenced in the document did not exist. Internal investigations subsequently confirmed that AI-generated citations were inserted into the document. The ANC’s Hlengiwe Hadebe says this debacle represents one of the most alarming failures of ministerial oversight and intellectual rigour in the recent history of South Africa’s digital governance.
