While the talks of coalitions begin, ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said they are not negotiating from a position of weakness.

“We are not losers here. We are the leading party on the board and we have explained why our numbers have dropped,” Duarte said.“There are many types of coalitions that exist, such as transactional coalitions.“Coalitions are about compromise,” she said.

She said the ANC’s approach to coalitions would be based on principles and not experience, as the recent experience with coalitions had not been positive. She said that, in many instances, coalitions resulted in “unstable and unswerving marriages”. Mashatile said that they were open to discussing coalitions, but they were not desperate. He said that coalitions were sometimes messy “but the way voters voted have put us in that position”.The ANC said they will make their final decision on coalitions, at the extended national working council meeting, on Friday.

Duarte again spoke of the poor voter turnout, saying that the low number of voters – especially in ANC strongholds – indicated a message that people were disappointed in the party “and we hear that message loud and clear”.

We know what that means😏 Those thieves will be disrupting every Council meeting. They are so predictable and disgusting

I want it to be opposition after national elections.

that`s the spirit, it shows maturity and accepting your mistakes, arrogance does not pay

That's desperation 😱

ANC Ready to be OPPOSITION? Opposing what? fight against CORRUPTION, THEFT and CRIME ? what is he saying?

Do they really have a choice

Dangerous ground! Slippery slope….downhill & no return!

Parties can't do coalition with thieves they better off opposing

😅😅😂😂

They were busy with their factional step aside rules & parliamentary rules to remove PP and allowed to be used by the DA mission accomplished

Abasadabukisi nje klibhi klobho

Bazolamba laba

ANC took people for granted & used them as stepping stones to government office privilege. Government office is not ANCs birthright! Their prophesy is becoming true.

Sacp Cosatu Sanco Zuma Mbeki Motlhanthe Cupcake all combined failed to deliver outright majority

They were busy fighting between themselves instead of looking at one goal. Now opposition parties have gained more power.

ANC will learn now to include youth in their structures. Killing the ANCYL was a disaster

How the mighty has fallen...
