MKP-DA locked in possible coalition discussions in Johannesburg

The MKP talks will be led by its national negotiator Advocate Dali Mpofu

The uMkhonto Wesizwe Party (MKP) has entered into potential coalition discussions with the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Johannesburg, South Africa. The talks, which will be led by MKP's national negotiator, Advocate Dali Mpofu, followed a formal meeting between DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis and MKP leader, former President Jacob Zuma.

The political parties have temporarily set aside their differences as they focus on serving the country's population, as over 130 councils remain undecided. This development marks a significant shift, as the DA had previously opposed negotiating or partnering with the MKP or the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in key municipalities, including Johannesburg and KwaZulu-Natal.
