Former Western Cape police commissioner Lennit Max has joined the ANC after he resigned from the DA with immediate effect, News24 reported.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Max slammed the Democratic Alliance (DA), calling the party 'self-serving' and claiming they had political agendas and personal egos to maintain.

"I have decided that enough is enough and I can no longer be associated with a political party such as the DA, which regards political agendas, personal egos and self-interest as more important than the lives of our people," part of the statement read.
