BOKSBURG - The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has urged the ANC to reconsider its cooperation with parties it believes pursue opposing interests.
MK Party coalition negotiator Dali Mpofu warns that these partnerships could lead to the ANC’s demise.
Mpofu spoke to eNCA on the sidelines of a Council of the Left media briefing on Thursday.
This happened on the same day as the ANC’s National Executive Committee meeting in the same Birchwood Hotel precinct.

Mpofu's comments come as the Jacob Zuma-led party confirmed its intention to meet with the ANC over coalition talks.
Mpofu said those conversations would be critical and direct.
“We're not going to be in some slanging match; we are going to appeal to the ANC to do the right thing, so that it avoids its own death... So, we really hope that whatever is happening on the other side of this place, called Birchwood, that sanity will prevail, that cool heads will prevail, and that people and egos must be put aside.”
