For the first time since the fall of apartheid in 1994, South Africa is now negotiating an uncharted political territory.\n \nIt comes after the ruling African National Congress (ANC), a party that was once led by Nelson Mandela, lost its parliamentary majority.\n \nThe organization received 40.18% in last week\u2019s elections, followed by the Democratic Alliance (DA) with 21.81% and Umkhonto Wesizwe Party (MK) with 14.58%.\n \nSome attribute the dismal performance of the ANC to its fallout with former president Jacob Zuma who now leads the MK Party.\n \nAt a press briefing on Wednesday, the ANC revealed that it was in talks with the DA, EFF and several other smaller parties.\n \nIt said it also reached out to the MK Party, but hasn\u2019t received any positive feedback.\n \nSo, who will the ANC form a coalition government with?\n \nAfrica Daily\u2019s Mpho Lakaje explores various options with Dr. Hlengiwe Ndlovu from the Wits School of Governance and former diplomat Botsang Moiloa.
