Yeah I’m doubting that will happen.

Knowing the ANC in GP, they'll go with Mashaba and the EFF. It is potentially beneficial for Mashaba and has the benefit of keeping the DA out which all 3 want. It'll kill off the ANC in the process but I guess that happens with the DA anyway.

Option 3 will probably not fly. It hands the DA all the GP metro and Emfuleni. I don't see the ANC faithful countenance such a future.

Joining the smaller parties won't fly either, that presents an existential threat. DA coalition definitely not either. That leaves us with GLU, but leaves them taking orders from the DA in those metros anyway. At least the third option won't have anyone calling them DA puppets, they get to push their power around during budget time and it neuters the ASA threat...

They could be lying, but what is the truth?

  • The claim was made: TimesLIVE attributed it to unnamed ANC insiders.
  • Ramaphosa has not publicly confirmed it: No direct statement, recording or official transcript has been presented.
  • The ANC disputed the claim: Spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu rejected reports that Ramaphosa had expressed a preference about Johannesburg's coalition arrangements.
Just the media being the media.
 
Newzroom Afrika had a poll asking who you would like to see in a coalition in Joburg.

69% of viewers said the DA and ActionSA.

ASA must be careful, if they form some kind of coalition with the ANC and others, they risk angering many of those who voted for them, and will lose their vote next time.

I predict GP metros municipalities will be made up of a combination of ANC+ASA+EFF+PA+IFP+a **** load on 1 seat parties.

People voted for ASA this election and they spent most of that time ruling with the ANC in TSH and supporting the ANC in Joburg votes.

I do admit that it could be just stories, but it is still funny to see you believing what Mahlengi is saying? I mean, she is an ANC cadre, surely she could be lying?

As for Ramaphosa publicly confirming it, he is not going to be confirming anything happening in the negotiations, that's not his place to do that.

A poll? What weight do you attach to a Newzroom poll? Does it mean much in the greater scheme of things?

I can't see ASA and DA working together.
 
The whole point of voting is so that the majority wins. The majority has indicated they want nothing to do with the anc or the eff. If the anc is brought in in any way the party that brings them in will lose a huge following.

The asa is also starting to act like the anc in so many ways and I see many of their supporters will soon be ex supporters. mashaba is on his own racist self entitled and enrichment mission and this will end him at last.
