A political analyst believes that the EFF had grown in stature and it poses a serious challenge to the ruling ANC and DA in next year’s general elections.
Political analyst Zakhele Ndlovu, of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, said the EFF and the DA would never work closely together because they had nothing in common in all material respects. “They won’t be able to form a coalition because they have totally different belief systems.”
Swana said the ANC and the DA had resorted to using the law and money through the national coalition dialogue and the DA’s Moonshot Pact to stem the tide of their declines. He said this was recognition that the Moonshot Pact was not going to win and that the ANC was accelerating downwards very rapidly.
“So the EFF has entered the lion’s den. All the DA and ANC forces are aiming to kill the EFF which is a decisive political threat to the ANC. By joining with the DA, the ANC is abandoning the national democratic revolution and the idea that there is racial capitalism, white monopoly capital and economic apartheid in South Africa.
“The economy of SA is based on race and the ANC has no capacity to address that, absolutely none,” Swana said.
Ndlovu said it was untrue that the ANC would not form coalitions with the EFF and it was mere rhetoric to make people believe the EFF was not as powerful as it claims to be.
He pointed out that the EFF was the third largest political party and the kingmaker, especially in the Gauteng and Eastern Cape metros.
