The newly-elected Johannesburg mayor Thapelo Amad, who himself is a product of a coalition, will be sworn in on Monday. He became mayor on Friday with the assistance of the African National Congress , Economic Freedom Fighters and other minority parties that voted together in the council.
Mngomezulu says, “Coalitions are unstable. At the moment, I don’t think that we are ready for coalition politics, more especially if we talk about post-election coalitions. Where coalitions have remained a bit longer, countries like Australia, India, Germany because before you go to an election, you already know what you are going to do in a coalition government. And normally, they do what they call grand alliances in which two bigger parties will come together.
Amad’s mayorship comes after the Democratic Alliance’s Mpho Phalatse was removed in a motion of no confidence.The politics of coalition governments
It's not that we aren't ready for it. It's that politicians in charge do not want to share the power.
Like kids squabbling in the playground
100% correct, SA isn't yet ready for coalition government.
I agree 100% so
I agree.
The country is ready, the coalition agreement must be constitutionally binding' laws must be drafted in parliament and endorsed by courts regarding coalition agreements'
