EFF is irrelevant in Tshwane, says ANC
29 June 2019
EFF leader Julius Malema's plan for the EFF to assume control of Tshwane may be weakening after the DA reaffirmed its position in governing the capital city, with the ANC's support.
Malema has said on several occasions that the EFF wants the mayorship in Tshwane. In March, he said that, after elections, the EFF would be going into government and that they would have a mayor in Tshwane.
However, on Tuesday, DA leader Mmusi Maimane reiterated that the party would not be moving out of Tshwane, adding that it was not in a formal coalition with the EFF.
"So, I think we must be clear on where we stand on this issue. So, we have gone back, and as early as tomorrow, or the next couple of days, we'll be meeting with the other opposition leaders to put the question of the EFF put before us,” Maimane told media in Cape Town.
