Former public protector Thuli Madonsela says the EFF is being disingenuous on their stance against government of national unity (GNU) by rejecting the formation because it does not want to work with the DA.
EFF rejected the GNU formation, with the party's deputy president Floyd Shivambu saying they did not want to be a part of it because the DA would be included. The DA during the election campaign declared EFF enemy No 1.
We are not going to form any part of government with the DA. We are not going to sit alongside the DA and FF Plus in government as the EFF. We are not desperate for positions in government and we are not going to compromise on that, Shivambu said.
Speaking on Newzroom Afrika this week, Madonsela was not convinced by the DA-EFF tussle, saying the two parties previously worked together in municipal councils. The EFF and DA previously had an informal partnership in the City of Tshwane council.
The EFF is just being disingenuous. It has been working with the DA in various coalitions, she said.
