JOHANNESBURG – United Democratic Movement President and Member of Parliament Bantu Holamisa has said the tripartite alliance is now on the brink of collapse.
Holamisa spoke at the Rivonia Circle Conference in Sandton on Saturday.
The alliance was formed in the early 1990s and is made up of the ANC, the SACP and the trade union federation COSATU.
The SACP and COSATU called for a restructuring of the alliance – to allow equal participation in key government activities.
Galamisa said the alliance has become unstable and has reached the end of its journey.
“But we must not work on a scenario where we seek to save the tripartite alliance… Instead, we must build a new alliance that can deliver on the promises made by 1994,” he said.
