The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) says it is still waiting for a directive from Luthuli House on whether it should meet the MK Party to begin formal talks on a possible coalition that could dislodge the DA and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) from power in the province.
The party’s provincial structure said it remains in the dark and has not yet received instructions from the ANC’s national leadership.
Spokesperson for the ANC’s provincial task team (PTT), Fanle Sibisi, said the invitation to coalition talks had been directed to the national executive committee (NEC), which must decide on the party’s position.
“As things stand, the letter inviting us to the talks was directed to the NEC. There is currently no directive from the Secretary-General [Fikile Mbalula] allowing us to join the coalition discussions. We are still waiting for guidance on the matter,” Sibisi said.
