There is no way of knowing how the EFF will play its cards, an ANC insider said, after talks with the IFP.
It seems the EFF could retain its kingmaker status even after announcing it is fielding its own candidate to become the mayor of Johannesburg.
News24 has spoken to several political parties in the council, some of whom are still engaging in horse-trading and last-minute caucus sessions to finalise negotiations. The IFP has maintained it wants control of some municipalities in its home province of KwaZulu-Natal. On Tuesday, eNCA reported the PEC rejected three names recommended by the regional executive committee, including caucus leader Geoff Makhubu and spokesperson Jolidee Matongo.DA Gauteng chairperson Mike Moriarty told News24 he believed the IFP was still on board to vote with the DA, its coalition partner since 2016.
