DA Federal council chairperson Helen Zille says the ANC cannot dictate terms as this has to be a power sharing arrangement in Gauteng. She was addressing the media on the outcomes of negotiations between the DA and the ANC on forming a government of provincial unity. She says despite progress in negotiations the DA and the ANC in Gauteng have not yet reached an agreement on forming a government. Zille says out of the ten provincial cabinet posts in Gauteng, the ANC wants to give the DA three executive council posts.

    There has to be power sharing. The people voted that way. The ANC will cut their own throats if they ignore the DA.

    ANC was never ready for this. It hasn't hit home that ANC has lost in the mindset of its provincial leaders. ANC knows, once DA has it's leg in the door, Gauteng politics will never be the same again. It's a soft coup, I love it. DA should remain firm..

    The ANC is really going through the first stage of grief : Denial
  • @babatundeolagoke2687
    I do not know what the hullabaloo is all about. ANC got 34% ot the electorate. DA got 28%.There are 13 cabinet positions, 34% of 13 positions should be ANC. DA has 28% of the electorate,so cabinet positions should be worked out on these proportions.
  • @loyiso5803
    The DA is being fair here. The DA should is more popular in Gauteng than nationally. The ANC has to honor agreements,
  • @klopjag2b

    If they pay for their transport and cut off blue lights it's the final nail on the anc coffin
  • @eastwoodwealthandhealth9023
    The “will of the people” argument from the DA is intellectually dishonest. If so, they should have insisted on an MK premier & at least 4 MEC’s in KZN.
  • @pranks1457
    What policies have the ANC made that have created a significant positive impact on the ground? I see many negative impacts,,appalling education standards , collapse of services like electricity ,water ,sewerage, road repairs and refuse removal . Not to mention the collapse of the majority of the SOE's . All of this as well as rampant crime and corruption have led to mass unemployment and inequality. I note that BEE has been very helpful to the ANC top brass and their cronies ,many of whom are billionaires today.
  • @user-dg9ie9rr7d
    38% of Gauteng did not vote for either ANC/DA, what make this two parties think that they are the will of the people in Gauteng
  • @brian7523
    Why didn’t they use this so called the will of the people when it came to KZN? Bloody hypocrites
  • @nxumalonkululeko4198
    Will of the people was denied in KZN. 45% of KZN eligible to vote voted for MKP. we have primier of 18% voted for his party. 82% people of KZN didn't want IFP

    The Problem with all these old men 🙄 in the ANC they don't seem to think that Kids have gone up that were born 30 years ago and don't care or like the ANC,the country is in a bad state and these men are now Billionaires 😢
  • @jameskillu9171
    ANC lost in polls and must be humble when discussing with DA,
  • @jobe1888
    We want to vote again in Gauteng. I think 34% was misunderstood. Perhaps 18% will be better understood. It will sink in.
  • @babatundeolagoke2687
    BEE should be scrapped completely, and replaced with a program where black graduates are encouraged to do postgraduate studies in technical and different specialties needed for the economy. That should be BEE.
