Far from offering an alternative to ANC mismanagement, it embeds extortion and instability into the very fabric of governance
That may be true ofMarrian’s flawed analysis is most clearly illustrated by her description of Nelson Mandela Bay’s 10-party coalition as a “winning formula”, apparently because positions were dished out to everyone, like sweets at a children’s party.
To reach 60 votes, five parties, with a single councillor each, secured executive positions for 100% of their representatives. The DA, bringing 48 seats , took just five of the top positions. This is the opposite of democracy. A party that attracts only 0.2% of the vote should not be in a position to decide who governs a city.
Any honest observer of South Africa’s coalition environment would have to conclude that it offers no prospect of an alternative to ANC corruption and mismanagement. On the contrary, it embeds extortion, bribery and instability into the very fabric of governance.
