Cape Town – The leader of the African Congress for Transformation (ACT), Ace Magashule, is reportedly set to announce a “united front” between ACT and the recently formed uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party.
The former ANC secretary-general and ally of ex-president Jacob Zuma have invited the media to attend the public announcement.
“We invite you to join us for a significant event featuring the president general of ACT, Ace Magashule, as he unveils the vision for a united front between ACT and MK,” the invitation said.
“Magashule’s commitment to transcending political divides and reshaping government for the benefit of all citizens will be at the heart of this announcement,” read a statement.
We shall hear tomorrow.

Magashule launched ACT last August last year, expressing confidence in its performance in the upcoming general election.
Zuma recently declared his intention to vote for the newly-registered MK party instead of the ANC.
The announcement is expected to shape a potential “Magashule Zuma United Front”, moving away from traditional politics toward a more inclusive approach.
