2 min read

Representatives from the Ruling Party; African National Congress, have had talks with 5 Political Parties concerning a coalition in order to form a Government under the Headship of the African National Congress for the South African Anatomy.

The talks with the other parties comes after the recent elections where no party had more than 50 percent of the votes. For the first time in the ANC’s 3 decade rule, they couldn’t pull more than 50 percent in the just ended Elections.
