Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Following a public spat with regard to the loss of Johannesburg, ActionSA says it will engage with the DA to improve relations and better collaborate – and, in this way, stabilise the coalition partnership.<\/p>\n

ActionSA and DA leaders blamed each other for the loss of governance in Joburg.<\/p>\n

ActionSA said the DA could not compromise on power-sharing, which led to the loss of a key coalition partner, the Patriotic Alliance (PA).<\/p>\n

The DA, in turn, blamed ActionSA, saying the party had led the charge in trying to, backhandedly, make changes to a signed coalition agreement – and this could have led to instability and regress in service delivery.<\/p>\n

Following a leadership meeting, ActionSA said it was time to find solutions to stable coalitions.<\/p>\n

“Of particular concern was the need for coalitions to operate from a stable foundation that enables service delivery and sufficient continuity to reverse decades of a failed government. In short, coalitions constantly on the brink of collapse cannot effectively deliver services,” the party said Thursday.<\/p>\n

ActionSA said a plan was needed to circumvent a similar takeover in Ekurhuleni.<\/p>\n

“Therefore, it will be critical for the coalition to provide leadership on how the Ekurhuleni multiparty coalition can sustain itself in the face of imminent motions of no confidence.”<\/p>\n

ActionSA said a review of its coalition strategy was necessary for stability and service delivery.<\/p>\n

“The review would initiate discussions with all political parties represented in the Gauteng metros to identify areas of agreement and collaboration.<\/p>\n

“As a part of this process, ActionSA will be engaging its coalition partners to discuss concerns relating to mutually agreed service delivery priorities that have not been adequately prioritised.”<\/p>\n

The DA also raised the need for more stable coalition governance.<\/p>\n

DA Gauteng leader Solly Msimanga said the party was not against engaging the PA, despite the party supporting the ANC’s takeover in Joburg.<\/p>\n

Whether this strategy would succeed remains unclear – because the same political negotiations the DA and ActionSA hope to embark on will take place while the ANC negotiates heavily to take over several hung metros.<\/p>\n
