ANC NEC meeting under way in Mbombela:
Meanwhile, the ANC’s National Task Team on Coalitions has conducted an assessment on municipalities in which the party has entered into coalition governments with other political parties. The ANC has realised that the partnerships in many of these municipalities are not serving the purpose of ensuring that service is delivered to the communities.
Former Gauteng Premier and member of the ANC Coalition Task Team, David Makhura says the coalition framework focuses on municipalities, not provincial and national government.
The ANC is optimistic that it will win the upcoming provincial and national elections with an outright majority.
