JOHANNESBURG - The ANC says it will engage all political parties, civic movements, and independent candidates as it seeks coalition partners following the local government elections.
The National Executive Committee is mandated to explore possible coalition arrangements in municipalities where no party secured an outright majority.
It says its priority is to establish stable councils capable of delivering basic services.
