ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula has clarified the ruling party’s stance toward the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), describing them as political opponents rather than adversaries. Speaking at a recent media briefing, Mbalula emphasized the need for constructive engagement between the two parties despite historical tensions.

“We don’t have ‘beef’ with the EFF. We are not at war with them,” Mbalula stated. “They are opposition, and we understand their role in our democracy.” His comments come amid shifting political alliances and coalition negotiations reshaping South Africa’s governance landscape.

Mbalula reflected on past political maneuvers, noting how EFF votes had previously aligned with the Democratic Alliance (DA), costing the ANC control of major metros. He cautioned that such alliances reveal the DA’s determined pursuit of power. “When we lost metros, the EFF voted with the DA. We must take seriously the DA’s ambition—including John Steenhuisen’s presidential aspirations,” he warned.

Despite these tensions, Mbalula acknowledged EFF leader Julius Malema’s political influence, calling him a “great revolutionary” and referencing his ties to Burkina Faso’s leader, Ibrahim Traoré. While differing ideologically, Mbalula’s remarks suggest a measured respect for Malema’s role in South Africa’s political discourse.

The ANC’s approach signals a willingness to navigate coalition politics pragmatically, prioritizing national interests over partisan hostility. Mbalula’s message underscores a commitment to democratic engagement—viewing opposition as a natural part of governance rather than a threat. As coalition dynamics evolve, his stance highlights the ANC’s attempt to balance vigilance against rivals like the DA while keeping dialogue with the EFF open.

Ultimately, Mbalula’s remarks reinforce that in South Africa’s fractious political climate, opponents need not be enemies—a principle he urges all parties to uphold.
