The DA in Gauteng is appealing to the EFF's morality regarding its proposed motion of no confidence against premier Panyaza Lesufi.

Last week, the DA invited the EFF to vote with it in the upcoming motion against Lesufi.

However, in a letter to the DA on Monday, the EFF said it would not engage with the party unless it agreed to several demands. This includes retracting statements made by DA leaders about the EFF.

"In subsequent pronouncements, including during a high-level meeting at the White House in the US, your party reiterated that its central role in the government of national unity is to keep the EFF out of government.
