National EFF will no longer vote with DA and ANC in municipalities This could result in a stalemate in hung councils, especially in metros such as Johannesburg and Tshwane BL PREMIUM

EFF leader Julius Malema has thrown down the gauntlet, saying his party will no longer vote with the DA or the ANC in all municipalities in SA, including the country's economic hub of Johannesburg.

On Tuesday, Malema said the EFF would participate in debates and make input in council meetings but “if anything requires voting, the EFF will abstain from voting”.
