They said Malema and his party are simply ignoring calls and other forms of communication from the DA's negotiating team.

We will stick to the original coalition agreement." The guys in Gauteng [IFP] are rogue. We are speaking with the IFP nationally and the guys in KwaZulu-Natal assured us that the agreement standsSelfe said of the EFF negotiations:"These things happen like that but we will follow up in due course . in 2016, the arrangement came together literally a day before the vote, so it's not unusual."
"The guys in Gauteng [IFP] are rogue. We are speaking with the IFP nationally and the guys in KwaZulu-Natal assured us that the agreement stands," said the insider.
