ANC first deputy secretary-general Nomvula Mokonyane shares insights into the turbulent coalition negotiations with the EFF and MKP , revealing the challenges faced by the ANC leadership. ANC deputy secretary-general Nomvula Mokonyane has shared key details about the failed coalition talks with the Economic Freedom Fighters and Umkhonto weSizwe Party .
The ANC leadership rejected these terms, insisting that the negotiations were based on principles and not about conceding to arbitrary demands, she said. Mokonyane recalled that Shivambu's insults were both public and personal, with the EFF leadership accusing the ANC of ineptitude and vowing to mobilise against them.
Despite this, tensions continued with MKP, as their discussions focused largely on the National Democratic Revolution and the controversial issue of former president Jacob Zuma's charges. "The last people we spoke to before flying to the Western Cape was MKP. We set up an op centre in Cape Town and called them, but no one showed up," Mokonyane explained."Instead, we were told they were protesting in the streets."
