This is a diplomatic disaster and the region has taken note of it.

I do not agree with Igombe ilede. I think national matters need to override personal issues. MK leaving the ANC has no policy basis but personal matters between the current leaders and some individuals in MK. This is the challenge that leaders face. Can they work with people they do not like personally and focus on issues? The cost to ANC has been too much because they could not work around those challenges

Had MK and EFF not separated, they would still have been in full control of the govt. Now Ramaphosa is just being practical by inviting DA and other parties to form govt. I think this arrangement will hold the ANC more accountable and South Africans voices through the ballot have been heard. We now should watch out who Ramaphosa will invite in his cabinet.. The finance portfolio is crucial.

Do not get it wrong, those that control the economy of that country align with DAs policies. Should this coalition result in an economic success, the Malemas will be remembered for being good in opposition. Should this fail, the ANC will see the black vote split between three large groupings. Malema should seek to merge with the MK.

It is actually worse than that. He has exposed himself as a sellout. The EFF was the first party to sellout by forming coalitions with the DA after the 2016 elections, and this one reason is why their growth has stunted at about 10%. The only party that can gain from this desperate blunder by the ANC of Ramaiid1ot is the MK party of Jacob Zuma, which can now position itself as the real representative of the real ideals of the ANC.

Cyril Ramaid1ot had colluded with the sellout Inkhata of the 100 year old Gatsha Buthelezi, the aparheid DA and Freedom Front to sell out black South Africans. This arrangement only serves to keep Rama1diot as the president of South Africa. It does not advance the interests of black people. The MK party can capitalise on this by saying that they are the real ANC, and that of Ramaid1ot is the one of sellouts. The EFF is susceptible to the same accusation since it was the first party to form a coalition with the DA in 2016, for which Malema received copious amounts praise from the white establishment. If the MK party plays this right, it can become the majority party in South Africa
