Elections2019: ANC Gauteng won't enter into coalitions
The province’s head of elections, Lebogang Maile, said the party was not entertaining any talk of coalitions as it was confident it would emerge victorious.
“We are campaigning to win. If it means we must be in the opposition, if there was some miracle that will happen that we lose, we can’t, we will have to be in the opposition. I don’t think we must be so obsessed with governing and running government that we are prepared to compromise our principles”.
“In Tshwane we had to stop our regional executive committee that wanted to contest but we said no. As a matter of principle we don’t believe in coalitions,” Maile said, referring to the aftermath of the 2016 local government elections when the party lost Tshwane after the EFF struck a deal with the DA.“We can sound arrogant but we are not. We are working very hard, we are convinced that our people will renew our mandate.
