South Africa's main opposition leader on Friday denounced the idea of a coalition with the ruling African National Congress (ANC), the party poised to lose its outright majority this year in an historic election battle.
In an interview, John Steenhuisen, the leader of the liberal Democratic Alliance (DA), told AFP that his party would "evict" the ANC, whose image has been stained by a lacklustre economic record and allegations of corruption and cronyism.
