Lesufi sets Wednesday deadline for coalition negotiators to finalize discussions

Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has given coalition negotiators a deadline until Wednesday to finalize their discussions.

 

On Sunday, the Gauteng government had to postpone the Cabinet announcement at the last minute because negotiators requested more time.

 

Lesufi acknowledged the complexity of the discussions, as this is the first time the Gauteng government is not under a majority party.

 

“We are impatient to ensure we conclude this work as early as possible. We can’t have government not functioning beyond Wednesday. I really believe we should find something before Wednesday and conclude this matter,” he stated.
