Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says the current political climate presents an opportunity for the African National Congress (ANC), uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, the EFF and the South African Communist Party (SACP) to come together and reject what he described as “enemy forces”.
Speaking during a media briefing at the National Results Operations Centre on Saturday, 7 November, Malema called for a realignment of political forces following the 2026 Local Government Elections.
“It’s an opportune moment for MK, for EFF, for Communist Party, ANC to come together and reject the enemy forces,” Malema said.
He argued that the ANC’s decision to enter into a Government of National Unity with the Democratic Alliance (DA) had contributed to the loss of support experienced by the ANC and other parties.
Malema also called on the ANC to reconsider its relationship with President Cyril Ramaphosa, saying the party should not continue losing support while protecting an individual.
He urged the ANC to reconnect with former supporters and political formations that share its historical and ideological positions.
The comments signal Malema’s call for closer cooperation between the four parties, although they do not amount to a confirmed coalition agreement.
