Election Results: Can ActionSA afford to ghost the ANC forever?

Johannesburg ​— ActionSA President and City of Joburg mayoral candidate Herman Mashaba on Tuesday stuck to his guns that his party would not form an alliance with the ANC any time soon.Mashaba told IOL that he had mixed emotions about the party's performance thus far, adding he would have loved to have it all but was also practical about the results so far, and may have to enter into a coalition with other political parties, except the ruling party.

"We would have wanted to have it all but we have to be realistic, we've always had this in mind that elections are free and fair, we have to go to coalition with other political parties that will do so, and go to opposition benches we will do so. To be honest we are really satisfied and over the moon with the outcome,“ he said.

Political analyst Dr Ralph Mathekga said while Mashaba has vowed not to look the ANC's way nor go into a marriage of convenience, it would be interesting to see which parties he would propose to.
