The EFF’s provincial chair and party leader in its caucus in Ekurhuleni, Nkululeko Dunga, said: “The status of the coalition is rocky, not only because of dynamics of the region but because of the interference of national leadership of the DA and meddling in operations of the region, particularly [DA federal chair] Helen Zille, who willingly trades off influence and amends coalition agreements without thorough engagements with other coalition partners.

But the EFF is not happy. According to Mashaba, the Campbell-led council apparently reneged on committee chair position commitments to the EFF, which ActionSA was asked to broker at first. Consequently the EFF looks as if it has switched allegiance.Dunga said it was “an open secret that the EFF has had engagements with the ANC leadership in Gauteng”. He said the two parties share a constituency and, as such, it was not unnatural to meet.

And Mashaba noted: “The stability of a government is based on the fundamental point of effective service delivery to the black townships.” Mashaba said Zille was the best asset for opposition parties as she was sure to herd votes and floor crossers in ActionSA’s direction.
