Action SA closes coalition door on EFF
Updated | By Gaopalelwe Phalaetsile
Action SA's senate has resolved not to work with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
In a statement, the party says it had reservations with the party's proposal for cooperation.
"While our Senate discussed a range of issues with the proposal, the primary issue related to the proposal being dependent on ANC support. ActionSA committed during the campaign that we would never work with the ANC, and any arrangement that is dependent on ANC support would be a violation of that commitment to the South African people," they said.
Action SA has reiterated that it would not work with the ANC under any circumstances.
"Under such an arrangement service delivery cannot be prioritised because the ANC wants departments filled with people appointed based on who they know, not what they know. Under such an arrangement Action SA could not fulfill its mandate to fight corruption because it would, invariably, be investigating and acting against those with whom it is in a coalition," the party said.
The party said it would continue talks with other parties.
