  "account": "Themba Godi, leader of the African People’s Convention (APC), expressed his party's openness to forming coalitions with any political party that prioritizes service delivery. Godi made this statement while addressing party members and councillor candidates in Louis Trichardt, Limpopo. The APC is contesting municipal seats in four districts across the province. Godi emphasized that the APC is willing to collaborate with any party that shares a common agreement on governance. He stated, \"We are ready to work with anyone, as long as there is a governance agenda, there is a signed agenda and the agreement is binding.\" This sentiment was reinforced during Godi's campaign trail in Hazyview, Mpumalanga, where he underscored the importance of a binding agreement, citing examples such as the City of Joburg where a governance coalition existed without a signed agreement.",
  "summary": "Godi says the APC will align with any party with which it shares a common agreement on governance.",
