After 30 years of dominance the ANC lost majority in last week's election and cannot form government
JOHANNESBURG – The African National Congress was holding high-stakes internal talks on Tuesday about which parties it should approach to form South Africa 's next government, with diametrically opposed Marxists and free-marketeers on the menu of options.
It will have 159 seats out of 400 in the new National Assembly, while the free-marketeer Democratic Alliance will have 87, the populist uMkhonto we Sizwe 58, the Marxist Economic Freedom Fighters 39 and the socially conservative Inkatha Freedom Party 17. The Daily Maverick, a South African news website, published details from three internal ANC discussion documents it said it had obtained, outlining scenarios.
The least good option, according to the document, was a government of national unity bringing in a much wider array of parties. It said this would carry the risk of instability and collapse, or that one or more parties withdraw, leaving the ANC in effect in a coalition with the EFF and MK parties.An alliance between the ANC and either the EFF or MK has been described as the "doomsday scenario" by the DA, and would be seen as very alarming by financial markets and foreign investors.
The party is seen by many analysts as a vehicle for Zuma to seek revenge on the ANC, his former party, after he was forced to quit as president in 2018 following a string of corruption scandals. He has since become an implacable enemy of Ramaphosa.
