POLL: What do you think is the main reason for the failure of the talks between the DA and ANC in Gauteng?

According to Times Live, talks between the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the African National Congress (ANC) in Gauteng for forming a government of provincial unity have failed. The DA is expected to announce this after a meeting with the ANC on Tuesday. The two parties had been negotiating a power-sharing deal but could not reach an agreement, leading to a deadlock. ANC Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi had postponed the announcement of his executive due to this impasse. Although Lesufi was prepared to offer the DA three positions in his executive, the DA declined, insisting they deserved more. Meanwhile, the ANC is reportedly in discussions with the MK Party, which has previously supported Lesufi.
