Shivambu Says His Party Has Agreed to Work With ANC Provided They Shut DA Out

Afrika Mayibuye Movement leader Floyd Shivambu has announced that the party has agreed to enter into coalition arrangements with the African National Congress (ANC) in several municipalities where no political party secured an outright majority in the 2026 local government elections.

Shivambu indicated that the proposed agreements would be subject to a key condition: the Democratic Alliance (DA) must not be part of the coalition governments.

The position suggests that Afrika Mayibuye is prepared to work with the ANC to establish administrations in municipalities where coalition negotiations are necessary to secure political control.

The development comes as political parties continue discussions to determine governing arrangements following the election results, which left several municipalities without a clear majority party.

The negotiations are expected to play an important role in shaping local government leadership, particularly in areas where smaller parties hold the balance of power.

Shivambu’s remarks also highlight the political divisions emerging during the coalition formation process, with parties setting conditions around which organisations they are willing to work with.

However, further details about the municipalities involved, the specific terms of the agreements and the possible allocation of political positions have not been provided.
