ANC on verge of governing eThekwini after IFP agreement

The agreement seems to be a sharp U-turn from a recent stance the IFP had taken not to work with the ANC. But Hlabisa said nothing has changed, because the IFP and ANC would “remain opponents, but opponents who have agreed to operate on the same principle for the sake of securing stability in local government and offering our people service delivery.

“It goes without saying that this is not a coalition, because a coalition places both parties in power-sharing positions. But what we are doing is allowing the party with the most votes to govern, while the other party is relegated to the opposition,” he said. The agreement between the IFP and the ANC comes after the collapse of negotiations between the ANC and the EFF, which some had touted as a possible partnership to run eThekwini.

It also effectively nullifies EFF growth in eThekwini, where it got 10.48% of the vote, despite noise by Julius Malema at a press briefing on Tuesday.At the EFF briefing, Malema, after announcing that his party had decided to drop all negotiations with the ANC, ridiculed the ANC's dip below 50% in eThekwini while boasting about the EFF's growth above the IFP.

The KZN people have rejected the ANCKZN but ke IFPinParliament ngokuphapha and hungry for Scopa position decided to bring back MyAnc through the back door. You sellouts!

This is called pragmatism. Forget about political posturing.

The IFP is going to regret this. The city has collapsed and all the blame will be put on the IFP now

Welcome Ethekwini to the Dark Ages now.

Mxm, inkatha! They are going to bankrupt that Metro. All appointments of service providers will be screened by the Exec. Mayor himself. Even the one of R20 000. 10% loot in each. It's going to be a frenzy of looting in the next 4 years. They know they will not come back again.

Well am no longer trusting u anymore

IFPinParliament is unreliable MkhulekoHlengwa

Sanity has prevailed

I hope that wil be case

Mr Hlabisa has put people first, that is what coalition is all about,he doesn't like ANC but for people sake he made this decision now that is leadership.
