The African Congress for Transformation (ACT) and the newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party are set to make a significant announcement on Friday regarding their alliance. The leader of ACT, Ace Magashule, has invited the media to attend the public announcement, where he will unveil the vision for a united front between the two parties.
Ace Magashule, the former ANC secretary-general and a close ally of former president Jacob Zuma, launched ACT in August last year with the belief that it would perform well in the upcoming general election.
However, the recent news of Zuma’s decision to vote for the newly-registered MK party instead of the ANC has caused shockwaves within the political landscape of South Africa.

The amalgamation between ACT and MK is seen as a significant step towards transcending political divides and reshaping the government for the benefit of all citizens. The invitation to the announcement emphasizes Magashule’s commitment to a more inclusive and people-centric approach to politics.
As part of a two-day awareness and visibility program in KwaZulu-Natal, Magashule will share insights and plans for the potential “Magashule Zuma United Front.”
The program will include a walkabout on Pietermaritzburg Church Street on Friday, followed by a public announcement outside City Hall. On Saturday, the party will be present at Catocreste Hall in Mayville, Durban.
The event is expected to be a crucial moment in shaping the political landscape of South Africa, heralding a new era of collaboration and change. The alliance between ACT and MK holds the promise of bringing together different political forces to work towards a common goal.
Meanwhile, MK has also announced that Jacob Zuma has been invited to attend the Nazareth Baptist Church service in Khenana, KwaZulu-Natal, on Saturday. The church, with its more than 10 million members, is highly respected and holds significant influence in the province, South Africa, and even globally.
The alliance between ACT and MK, along with Zuma’s attendance at the Nazareth Baptist Church service, highlights the shifting dynamics within the political landscape of South Africa. It signifies a growing dissatisfaction with traditional politics and a desire for change and collaboration.
As the public eagerly awaits the announcement, there is a sense of anticipation and curiosity about the future direction of the united front between ACT and MK. The potential impact of this alliance on the upcoming general election and the broader political landscape cannot be underestimated.
