Month Before Polls, Coalition Talk Intensifies in South Africa

Described as the election during which the ruling African National Congress (ANC) lose their majority vote for the first time in 30 years of democracy, the leadership emerging from the May 2024 results will almost certainly consist of coalitions between the Economic Freedom Fighters, Democratic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, and ANC.
Or former president Jacob Zuma's new party, MK.
In the past, however, it's resulted in instability in local governments, writes William Gumede for Democracy Works, asking whether new laws should be introduced to govern in the coming coalition era.
