  "account": "Rise Mzansi leader Songezo Zibi expressed willingness to engage in coalition talks with any political party, provided they meet certain conditions. Speaking to journalists at the Elections Results Operations Centre in Johannesburg, Zibi stated that the party participated in only seven municipal elections across three provinces, including Johannesburg, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, Mogale City, Buffalo City, and Greater Tzaneen and Polokwane.\n\nZibi emphasized the importance of a written coalition agreement, clear service delivery targets, and accommodation of six governance pillars that have been proposed. He pointed out that parties could choose to participate or not based on these conditions. Zibi warned against secret coalition agreements, indicating that such a stance might lead to problems. The party's targeted campaign strategy aimed for coalition governments, and with 84% of votes counted nationally, Rise Mzansi secured 0.22% support.",
