Amid the ousting of the Democratic Alliance’s Dr Mpho Phalatse as Joburg mayor, analysts yesterday warned of the growing trend of unstable political coalitions, with This comes as smaller parties emerged as kingmakers behind the political volatility at local government level – a development that could lead to collapse in the councils, rendering those holding leadership positions vulnerable to being unseated.
Commenting on coalitions, where the ANC mounted a successful motion of no confidence in Phalatse in Joburg, and the DA voted out an ANC government in Nelson Mandela Bay, University of South Africa political science professor Dirk Kotze, independent politics analyst Dr Ralph Mathekga and University of Pretoria political lecturer Roland Henwood were unanimous:“Despite being shaky, South African voters should brace themselves for more coalition upsets.
“We have instances where parties are willing to cross the floor within coalitions – driven by pragmatism or opportunism. “Take the case of the Patriotic Alliance in the Cape, which was in a coalition in the West Coast with the DA, then moved into a coalition with the ANC. “Learning who to trust is what parties are grappling with. The same notion applies to political parties experiencing internal problems, with no clarity as to who is in charge. Congress of the People and the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania [PAC] are examples of this,”said Kotze.
