South Africa’s election results have shifted the balance of political power and the coalition negotiations could shape what happens next.
Economist David from Efficient Group explains what the ANC’s losses, hung metros and smaller-party gains could mean for the country.
In this post-election interview, we examine the changing fortunes of the ANC, MK, the EFF, the DA and ActionSA and the coalition choices facing South Africa’s metros. David weighs the risks of political instability against the potential for more checks and balances, stronger smaller parties and better service delivery.
Can coalitions become more stable as political leaders learn to work together? Could opposition parties build a broader alliance? And what does the election tell us about the direction of South African politics?
