Political parties are reportedly holding secret talks to form coalitions in key metros where the vote could go either way on Wednesday.

Reports say that these meetings are taking place despite parties having splurged hundreds of millions of rands to outdo each other.

The upcoming municipal elections are largely seen as the most fiercely contested and expensive yet.

Jacob Zuma has recently blasted the opposition party while on his campaign trail, calling it the brain child of apartheid.

The Democratic Alliance’s Tshwane mayoral candidate Solly Msimanga says President Zuma’s recent attacks on the party show that he’s frightened of defeat at the polls.
