ActionSA's leader, Herman Mashaba, warned John Steenhuisen not to make the formation of a united opposition about himself or the DA. | Malaika_Dee
This comes after Steenhuisen's triumph at the DA's federal congress on Sunday, where he retained his position as party leader ahead of next year's elections.
In a statement released on Monday, Mashaba said, for a"grand coalition" to succeed in removing the governing party, parties should practise and maintain"mutual respect and humility". He said all parties involved should be equals. "While we welcome Mr Steenhuisen's commitment to these discussions, we would caution him against attempts at making this a DA-led process. In his remarks, Mr Steenhuisen announced that '[the DA] will immediately initiate a process to form a pre-election moonshot pact with like-minded political parties, civil society organisations and the civic movements to defeat the ANC, to keep the EFF out'.
