THE National Working Committee (NWC) of the African National Congress (ANC) has announced the party’s intention to work together with all parties in light of the failure of any party in obtaining an absolute majority to form a government alone at the national level, and in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.

ANC national spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri gave a media briefing at Chief Albert Luthuli House in Johannesburg on Wednesday and said the party was keen and determined to engage all parties and unite the broadest range of sectors of the country behind the urgent need to escape the current potential electoral stalemate.

“The ANC has taken the position that we must all act in the interest of our country and its people, and work to build a national consensus on the form of government that is best suited to move South Africa forward at this moment in our history,” Bhengu-Motsiri
