Zuma's MK Party to Join South Africa's Opposition Alliance

Former president and uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) leader Jacob Zuma has said that his political party will join the opposition alliance in Parliament to coordinate efforts against the Government of National Unity.

The Progressive Caucus is a group of parties that have indicated they will cooperate to take on the African National Congress-led GNU. Its members include the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), United Democratic Movement (UDM(, Al Jama-Ah, African Transformation Movement, United Africans Transformation and Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania.

MK party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela said that while the election had seen "daylight robbery" of votes, parties forming the opposition alliance achieved around 30% of seats in the national assembly. The party denounced South Africa's coalition government, calling it a "white-led unholy alliance" and accusing the ANC of going to "bed with the racists".
