In an usual arrangement, Rise Mzansis Western Cape convenor Axolile Notywala has been appointed as the GOOD partys councillor in the City of Cape Town.
Rise Mzansis national chair Vuyiswa Ramakgopa said the move cements a commitment between the two parties to resuscitate their conversations exploring long-term collaborations with possibilities to merge or realign the social democratic centre of South African politics.
Ramakgopa said the 2024 election outcome has given a decisive line of march from the electorate that South Africans need reconfiguration of the political landscape.
It is clear political parties can no longer work in silos when the country is in dire need of parties and a government that responds to the socio-economic demands people have, she said.
The formation of the government of national unity (GNU) was further testament to this, and no single party could claim to be the leader of the people of South Africa, said Ramakgopa.
