Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) party will behave well as the official opposition in parliament and hold the government of national unity (GNU) to account, according to analysts.
The rogue's gallery of the 58 MK members sworn in as MPs include former Western Cape judge John Hlophe, ex-EFF MP Andile Mngxitama and former minister of finance for four days Des van Rooyen.
But most political analysts believed the party will bring a robust and constructive opposition to the GNU.
Independent political analyst Professor Sipho Seepe said the "quality of MK members is promising".
Led by Hlophe and including the likes of Mngxitama, we should expect robust engagement. This will complement an already experienced team from the EFF, led by Julius Malema.
"Besides, there has not been any childish behaviour from MK members," said Seepe.
