A national spokesperson for South Africa’s uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party says it will not engage the African National Congress in any discussion about a coalition government if President Cyril Ramaphosa remains at the helm of the ANC. Nhlamulo Ndhlela says President Ramaphosa does not serve the interests of the MK party. This, after final results released Sunday by the Independent Electoral Commission show the ANC won just 40% of the total votes with the MK party in third place with 15%. MK national spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela, tells VOA’s James Butty, the party’s election performance is a testament to the genius of former President Jacob Zuma.
