Trollip said some political parties had made coalitions into a transactional deal for “politics of the stomach”. Some parties liked chaos because it allowed them to be corrupt, he said. IFP deputy president Mzamo Buthelezi said his party had been involved in coalitions for a long time, and there was stability in every municipality where the IFP was co-governing. Those coalitions would not survive without the IFP, he said.
ANC NEC member Parks Tau said the reality was that coalitions have not worked, have proven to be difficult to manage and that they had thrown people into the governance system which has collapsed municipalities.“You can go into Tshwane today and the reality of the people of the capital city is a very difficult reality and that reality is what the people feel daily.”
“The ANC is being relegated to an opposition day in and day out, coalitions are part and parcel of South Africa’s democracy. This is where we are now and voters are giving us this kind of mandate so we have got to ask ourselves how we are being politically mature as political parties and how we are putting the residents and citizens in the work that we do.”
