EFF coalition demands testing ANC faultlines─── 08:11 Tue, 09 Aug 2016
Pretoria - Coalition talks have reportedly exposed faultlines in the ANC’s loyalties ahead of its 2017 electoral congress – and the EFF is seemingly stoking the flames with some of its alleged demands.
News24 reports that according to a list of demands doing the rounds on WhatsApp yesterday, the EFF wants to see Tshwane mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa reinstated as a precondition to working with the ANC in the city.
Various newspaper reports have also indicated that the party has demanded that President Jacob Zuma step down.
EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, however, dismissed the alleged demands.
Another source close to the Tshwane negotiations told the news agency that a likely outcome will be the DA working with the EFF in the metro, while the ANC was keen to retain the City of Johannesburg at all costs and sources within the DA indicated that the party was confident of striking a deal with the EFF in Tshwane.
