JOHANNESBURG - Political parties are feeling each other out in coalition negotiations.
The MK Party has already met with the DA and the ANC.
Leading these engagements was MK Party's new first Deputy President, Duduzane Zuma.
Party spokesperson Sifiso Mahlangu said engagements with the ANC were cordial and respectful.
“We were engaged wildly by the SGO of the ANC, among other. They brought in a big delegation. And of course we spoke to them. And I think we had conversations from the heart.
“I think we are finding each other somewhere. President Jacob Zuma maintains that he is an ANC member.”
Mahlanga said they are still pondering on who else they will be engaging but made it very clear that their direction will never turn to the FF Plus.

“We are left in thinking. We have no issue with parties not wanting to engage us. There was no outright winner in some of those municipalities. But we're very happy to be engaged by the ANC. We are sorting out the technicalities. We're working out the nuts and bolts of what kind of relationship we want to have, if we have one.” he said.
Overall, he said they have accepted the results as they are and that the MK Party is ready to govern as coalition negotiations continue.
"The people of South Africa have voted and it's time for us to deliver on the initiatives and the promises that we made on the campaign trail and quite frankly we can't wait."
