“When the DA started negotiating with us and then dropped us on Saturday, I smelled something that the DA was interested in giving these municipalities to the ANC,” said Mashaba.

“So yesterday [Monday] I called the EFF, and said, ‘I know I’m a political illiterate, but we have a huge challenge on our hands. The DA has a plan to give these municipalities to the ANC. Can you guys assist?

'Would you guys please support us? Let us force the DA to run the municipalities and we can deal with them afterwards'. Fortunately, the EFF accepted the idea and they were very supportive.”The EFF leaders also got to work briefing their councillors. EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu was said to have instructed his party’s councillors to endorse DA candidates in all three positions of mayor, council whip and speaker in Ekurhuleni.
