• PA leader Gayton Mckenzie is considering abandoning the ANC in favour of the DA-ActionSA moonshot pact
• emphasizing The moonshot partners are looking to broaden the alliance to increase its chances of winning the 2024 elections

CENTRAL KAROO - In a move that shows how fickle political unions are, the Patriotic Alliance (PA) has announced that it is considering ditching the ANC for the DA-ActionSA moonshot pact alliance.

PA leader Gayton Mckenzie said the party is willing to cut ties with the ruling party to prove its commitment to the newly named Multiparty Charter for South Africa.

Moonshot pact looks to expand

This comes after the moonshot pact partners revealed that they were open to more parties joining the pact to increase the changes surpassing the 51% threshold to win the 2024 elections.

The seven parties currently in the Multiparty Charter for South Africa are the DA, ActionSA, IFP, FF-Plus, Isanco, UIM and Spectrum National Party, EWN reported.

While McKenzie told News24 that his party walking away from working with the ANC was as easy as the moonshot partners committing not to work with the ruling party.

McKenzie said:

"The PA will be open to joining the pact as soon as our demands are met. The ANC has ruled for three decades, and people still die of poverty; no bigger indictment exists."

PA leader Gayton McKenzie takes aim at ‘Kill the Boer’ song, says it has no place for it in New South Africa

In another story, Briefly News reported that the Kill the Boer struggle song is still causing controversy in South Africa, with Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie becoming the latest political powerhouse to weigh in on the matter.

Adding to the sea of criticism already created by the Democratic Alliance and the Freedom Front Plus, McKenzie called for the struggle song to be banned, claiming that it had no place in the new democratic South Africa.

Mckenzie is a little late to the game with his commentary as Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema landed in hot water for breaking into the chant at the EFF's 10th-anniversary celebration at the end of July, EWN reported.
