The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal is yet to agree to IFP demands meant to underpin co-operation between the two parties in hung municipalities across the province.
TimesLIVE understands that some PEC members are against the proposed changes, as this will amount to “betrayal of these comrades just so we can govern”.“The issue of Mzala Nxumalo region, the issue of Mangosuthu Highway will be discussed as we move forward.
“We hope and pray that on both sides, the ANC and the IFP, come Monday when councils sit, there will be no defiance of the [NEC] decisions. Yes, there is chatter of plans to defy this agreement, even from the IFP.” Asked if the agreement with the IFP would pose a danger to relations the ANC has built with smaller parties, such as the NFP, Ntombela said he did not think so.
“The NFP will have its mayor in eDumbe, the principle with Inkatha is clear and doesn't interfere with relations we have built with other parties - where they are in the majority we do not contest them. “Our relationship with the NFP, for example, will not change. Our agreement with the IFP doesn't affect our relationships with other parties.”
