Could (and should) the DA and EFF work together?
The article discusses the possibility of the Democratic Alliance (DA) forming a coalition with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) to govern metros in South Africa. The potential benefits and challenges of such a coalition are considered.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is considering forming a coalition with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) to govern metros such as Tshwane and Johannesburg. The DA's potential gain is increased power and a stronger brand as a party of excellent service delivery. A coalition could also give the DA a long-term foothold in Gauteng province. The EFF advocates radical socialism, while the DA is committed to the free market, making a coalition complex. The possibility of such a coalition has implications for the 2019 national elections and beyond. The DA and EFF would need to navigate their ideological differences to work together effectively.
