EFF withdraws from Ekurhuleni coalition after ANC's unilateral mayoral reshuffle

The ANC in Ekurhuleni reduced the EFF's representation to two MMC positions down from four, claiming proportional representation principles meant the EFF deserved only one seat.
The EFF disputes that it was consulted on the reshuffle, stating it was surprised by the decision, while the ANC claims provincial leadership engaged the EFF and they refused to accept the reduction.
ActionSA declined the ANC's invitation to join the executive after the EFF allegedly threatened to withdraw support from ActionSA's mayor in Tshwane if ActionSA replaced the EFF in Ekurhuleni.

“It is entirely untrue that the EFF is not aware. They should come out honestly to say that they did not accept the fact that we are reducing them into two.”

— Jong Labati, ANC Ekurhuleni Secretary

EFF withdraws from all working relations with ANC in Gauteng municipalities

The EFF rejected MMC positions offered by the ANC following a cabinet reshuffle in Gauteng municipalities and has relocated to the opposition benches.
The ANC is concerned about the impact on provincial budget passage in March, which requires EFF votes for approval.
EFF leadership stated that the party's primary conditions for rejoining governance are ensuring EFF policies and ideology are reflected in municipal governance and that any governance arrangement promotes stability and social justice.

“The main point is to ensure that the policies and the ideological perspective of the EFF finds a resonance in governance. We cannot form part of governance that would collapse what would have been ordinarily a thoroughly functioning municipality by expressing ego and creating instability.”

US sanctions bill targets ANC; UK far-right rally exposes media narrative collapse

New US Senate bill would sanction ANC officials, restrict asset transfers, and end AGOA trade benefits—the host supports this as accountability rather than unjust interference.
Over 1 million UK citizens attended a rally for free speech and immigration control; media labeled it 'far right' despite participants expressing centrist, historically left-wing positions.
Media frames protests selectively: 18 of 25 arrests were counter-protesters, yet coverage blames the main rally; contrasts with minimal coverage of left-wing violence after Charlie Kirk assassination.

“I was just giddy as a school boy... the ANC they can up their stupid asses. That's what I think.”
