Mashaba will not call the ANC, not even in 300 years, as he rejects coalition approaches
Mashaba said he had been approached by a member of the ANC top six with a proposal for a coalition government, during one of their informal talks:
However, the ANC disputed his remarks, saying many people want to use the name of the organisation to get attention. ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said the ANC has not approached any political party about coalitions. “But there have been informal talks on the ROC [results operation centre] floor and nothing official.
He also didn’t go into details about where the ANC top six members wanted them to go into coalitions together. Even though Mashaba refused to reveal the name of the person, City Press spotted him greeting and shaking hands with ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile on the political party floor. The other two members of the ANC top six who were at the results centre included Duarte and chairperson Gwede Mantashe.Under no circumstances will ActionSA go to bed with the ANC. We committed to our members that we wouldn’t do a coalition with the ANC.
