You want national unity. How do you achieve that without EFF and MK? Those 3 make up 2/3 of parliament.

So does the alternative. So the question is which 2/3 is more representative of what the people want, the ANC will have to make that call...
 

"South Africa’s African National Congress favors forming a government of national unity that would include a range of political parties after last month’s elections failed to produce an outright winner, an option it may struggle to convince its main rivals to accept."

The ANC NEC is set to meet to decide on the constitution of government following the May 29 polls.

Why would we listen to a political party who won 0 votes? If they want to go around telling people how to run a country, they should contest elections. Otherwise Bheki Cele has something to say to you

The ANC’s highest decision-making body, the national executive committee (NEC), is expected to consider a proposal to reject the possibility of a formal coalition agreement with either the DA or EFF on Thursday, multiple sources told Business Day.

The ANC’s powerful national working committee (NWC) is the executive arm of the ANC that translates broader decisions of the party into action plans. It will suggest offering positions in parliament and the national executive to smaller opposition parties including the DA and EFF, according to six people who attended the NWC meeting this week, in a move aimed at securing a second term as head of state for President Cyril Ramaphosa.

But it is looking increasingly likely that stone age retrogrades of MK will be totally excluded:

“The offer as it stands excludes MK, which is fine,” said a third ANC NWC member.

Nothing substantive has been decided yet:

In an interview on Monday, ANC first deputy secretary-general Nomvula Mokonyane said engagements with opposition parties were brief and would resume only after the ANC’s NEC meeting. “There have not been any substantive conversations on how we can collaborate. We are still trying to talk to everyone,” said Mokonyane.
