Mashatile’s remarks come amid a lengthy legal battle between the ANC and the DA over the governing party’s cadre deployment policy.


The ANC was compelled by the Constitutional Court to hand over the records of its cadre deployment committee dating back to January 2013, when President Cyril Ramaphosa was the committee chairman.


Mashatile answered questions in the National Council of Provinces on Tuesday.


"It is such a brilliant programme that all parties in the world actually do it; if the DA does not develop its cadres, then they are deploying people that are not fit for purpose.


"The ANC makes sure that, if someone has to go and lead in any sector, they have the requisite skills to be able to do so, that is what cadre development is all about."


"We are not shy to talk about, we are not embarrassed, because a lot of people who are in the public service today have been trained by the ANC, some of them sent to the best schools in Europe and America.


“That is cadre development."
