The ANC will not abandon its coalition with smaller parties in the City of Johannesburg despite them bringing a motion of no confidence against its mayor Dada Morero, secretary general Fikile Mbalula said this week.
Mbalula also ruled out working with ActionSA and the Democratic Alliance DA in the metro despite ActionSA saying it would abstain from the vote and speculation that the DA would do the same. Mbalula said it was too late to change coalition partners less than a year before local government elections.
We cant work with the DA now, ten months before the elections because we are on the verge of getting to the people and testing their will, Mbalula told the Mail Guardian on the sidelines of a media briefing.
