TimesLIVE understands that leaders from both parties had initially agreed to install the EFF’s Nkululeko Dunga in an agreement that would have seen the red berets co-governing with the ANC. “No, unfortunately, I’ve served my five-year term. When I attempted a second term I was defeated, so it’s time to focus on other issues in the movement,” Masina said.
The EFF, led by deputy president Floyd Shivambu, is said to have told ANC provincial leaders including chair and premier Panyaza Lesufi and secretary TK Nciza that they wanted to govern the metro by themselves. This was rejected by the DA. The ANC at the time could also not agree to the same proposal with its national executive committee vehemently rejecting the proposal. Instead the EFF then took a decision to vote with the DA despite them turning down their proposal.
