Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The African National Congress (ANC) in Ekurhuleni said it is willing to ditch its coalition pact with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) citing it can no longer work with the party who it accuses of running the municipality to the ground.<\/p>\n

Exactly a year ago the two organisations formed an alliance to govern the city which saw the African Independent Congress’s (AIC) Sivuyile Ngodwana being elected as mayor.<\/p>\n

The parties are not seeing eye-to-eye on several matters presented in council, including the motion of no confidence against the mayor, which the ANC supports.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a media briefing earlier on Tuesday, the ANC\u2019s Jongizizwe Dlabathi said recent developments necessitate the re-configuration of the city\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

A violent brawl involving EFF and ANC councillors broke out last Thursday which was seemingly the turning point for the alliance.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the ANC\u2019s regional caucus wanted out of the coalition for months but was forced to rub shoulders with the EFF by its provincial principals.<\/p>\n

Dlabathi said his party can\u2019t collude with the red berets to further run the city into disarray.<\/p>\n

“If it means that staying in opposition and exercising oversight, then so be it. We have done it any case but what we are not going to do it to stay for the sake of staying.” He insists that the ANC\u2019s relationship with the EFF has barely yielded the desired outcomes.<\/p>\n
