“We are very committed to the multiparty charter. It is something we initiated so there is a special responsibility. We have been clear from the beginning that all parties in the multiparty charter also need to grow so that we are all more likely to get closer to 50% plus one. I think one of the first things that will happen after the official results is that a multiparty charter committee will convene to discuss how best to proceed going forward based on the results. So in the DA cooperation with the ANC has not been discussed and it is not something we are considering at this stage. Our first priority is the multiparty charter and we will discuss it based on the results,” Malatsi added.
