“We reaffirm our position that the EFF will field a candidate for the mayoral position of the City of Johannesburg when the current mayor vacates his position on November 27 2019,” Malema said at a briefing held at the Nasrec Expo Centre on Thursday. Malema also questioned why the EFF had to always form coalitions to assist the DA with winning positions while they were not afforded the same courtesy.
Malema explained the conditions under which the EFF would enter a coalition, saying if they were afforded the opportunity to run Johannesburg by the DA or the ANC they would support them in Tshwane. Malema has confirmed that the EFF has already met with the DA, but said they would not be pursuing any talks to persuade political parties to vote with them.“We are also not talking to the ANC. If the ANC wants to come on board, it must come on board supporting the EFF … Are we not leaders who are capable to lead? We are going to field a candidate and we call upon the DA and ANC to support our candidate,” he said.
The party – which also saw its leader Mmusi Maimane resign due to internal divisions over the DA’s direction and race issues – said it had dispatched a team to negotiate with the EFF.While the ANC has confirmed three candidates have been selected to compete for the position, it is still up to the regional executive committee to make the final decision.
Queenin_M Why am I not surprised. Who can be trusted ?
Queenin_M Should EFF Malema rule Jhb it would be a total collapse of the cbd this is the thug who swindled Limpopo with uncompleted bridge and potholes roads.

Queenin_M Idiots!
Queenin_M IFP deserves the mayorship of JHB
Queenin_M Ready to govern based on what? Their track record sucks. They can pop off to Zim and help their mates.
Queenin_M Are you sayimg that what the EFF did in PE did not already constitute turning their back on the DA?
Queenin_M Who in his/her right mind will want to support VBS looters..
Queenin_M EFF Malema if you need support, steal a bra VBS PayBackTheMoney
Queenin_M Misleading blurb! Pure clickbait
Queenin_M Malema is right because if he supported DA in Tshwane and JHB now is their turn to support EFF
Queenin_M Last time Mmusi allowed Malema to remove Trollip from NMBM, the DA lost votes in stead of winning. Now the son of cow dung wants a mayor for Joburg to cover up the EFF tender corruption there. paybackVBSmoney. Buy your own blue tractor.
Queenin_M Only thing they can manage is the looting they are so good at.
Queenin_M What crap reporting.
