Zille was responding to a question by ANC MPL Pholisa Makeleni when she made the revelation.
Equipped with a file of papers, Zille revealed that the system was first introduced by the ANC in Gauteng.
The system was a police initiative and is not related the Democratic Alliance, Zille said according to News24.
She also said that politicians, unions, farmworkers and the ANC agreed to the green card system as a safety measure in Gauteng neighbourhoods.
The ANC also apparently endorsed the idea of a pass book for formal workers - with the initiative lead by ANC MEC Sikazele Nkosi-Malobane.
The only person who had objected to the system was the DA's spokesperson, Zille said.
When news of the green card system in Worcester first broke, the ANC released a statement condemning the cards.
"It is obvious that it is only black men looking for jobs who must carry the card and nobody else in the neighbourhood - sending a clear message that blacks are dangerous and not to be trusted unless vetted by the white man," the ANC said.
"When it comes to the DA and the protection of white privilege, the more things change they more they stay the same. Despite their loud denials, proof is presented that where the DA governs every effort will be made to return us to apartheid."
Meanwhile ANC members were protesting against the system with placards in Worcester on Friday.
