MK Party Rejects DA Alliance on VAT Hike, Criticizes Opposition’s Approach

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) has firmly ruled out any cooperation with the Democratic Alliance (DA) to oppose the government’s proposed VAT increase, dismissing the DA’s economic stance as lacking substance.

During a press briefing today, MKP spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela stated the party would not align with what he called “lazy thinkers” – a pointed reference to the DA’s opposition to the tax hike. The remarks come amid heated debate over the potential VAT rise, which critics argue would burden low-income households.

“The MKP has its own principled approach to economic transformation,” Ndhlela said. “We’re not interested in temporary political alliances that simply block policies without offering real solutions. Our focus is on developing sustainable alternatives that address systemic inequality.”

The party’s position underscores its efforts to establish a distinct political identity, separate from both the governing ANC and opposition parties like the DA. Ndhlela emphasized the MKP’s commitment to policies that prioritize job creation, equitable growth and empowerment of marginalized communities – objectives he claimed required deeper structural reforms than merely opposing tax adjustments.

While the DA has positioned itself as the leading voice against the VAT increase, arguing it would hurt poor South Africans, the MKP’s refusal to join the campaign signals growing tensions in opposition politics. The party appears determined to chart its own course rather than follow the DA’s lead on economic matters.

When pressed about potential alternative proposals, Ndhlela said the MKP would unveil its comprehensive economic plan in due course, but stressed the importance of solutions rooted in South Africa’s liberation struggle principles rather than “reactionary opposition politics.”

The MKP’s stance may complicate efforts to build a united front against the VAT hike, while reinforcing its image as an independent political force. As Ndhlela concluded: “We lead through vision and principle, not by following others’ agendas.” Political observers will be watching to see how this position plays out as the VAT debate intensifies.
