The President had signed performance agreements with his Ministers in 2020, but his Spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, said last month that he was not obliged to make them public.

DA leader John Steenhuisen accused the President of protecting incompetent ministers who have failed to deliver on their mandates and harmed the economy and the welfare of South Africans.

He said the party would seek the truth from the courts if the president refused to share the information voluntarily.

"We will institute court action to obtain this. South Africans deserve to know the truth about what our President really thinks of these ministers and of all of their dismal failures throughout the year, why he retains them in the cabinet so that they can continue to wreak havoc on the economy and continue to cause suffering in the lives of ordinary South Africans and most importantly whether he has the spine to take the requisite action against them," Steenhuisen said at a media briefing in Cape Town, Western Cape, on the performance of Parliament and the executive in the 6th Democratic Parliament.
