South Africa's ANC Reaches Deal With Opposition Parties To Form Unity Government

South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), have reached a deal to form a government of national unity (GNU), the SABC reported on Friday.

The GNU will also include the Patriotic Alliance (PA) and Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) while the DA will get the post of deputy speaker of the National Assembly, according to the report.

According to Xinhua, citing the Sunday Times, the current South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, will be elected with the support of the DA on Friday afternoon.

The parties reportedly struck a deal shortly after 10 AM today, during the first sitting of the National Assembly.

The DA will support Ramaphosa’s election as president, with Agriculture Minister Thoko Didiza as speaker, and the ANC will support the election of a DA deputy speaker.

The DA’s deputy chief whip, Annelie Lotriet, is reportedly set to be elected deputy speaker of the National Assembly, while the ANC’s Mdumiseni Ntuli is touted as the incoming chief whip.

The first sitting of the National Assembly is being held this Friday to elect the speaker, deputy speaker and president for the next five years.

In the 29 May elections, the ANC secured 159 out of 400 seats in the National Assembly, forcing the party to seek partners to form a GNU.

##South Africa has just been recolonised.Article (comment,in summary) by Njabulo email libertyatatliberty at gmail dot com. Neo-colonialism has just taken place in South Africa. The Boers have recolonised SA.All the lives lost fighting to remove them from power were lost for nothing.Madiba must be turning in his grave.The new renaissance evinsaged by Madiba is no longer going to be seen.Madiba ,OT ,Chris Honey and others all suffered for nothing.The Soweto uprising marks no significance in African history now.What a big shame. LAND QUESTION IN SA. There will no longer be any progress in taking the land back in SA.The Boers will now make laws that will make that difficult to happen.Cyril has been installed in that position with the support of the Boers so as to be used stop the other African countries from complaining.What was fought for ,”COLLECTIVELY “ by our African forebearers and/or African countries has all amounted to nothing.What a big shame. Oh “CRY THE BELOVED MOTHERLAND”. INEQUALITIES.The conspicuous inequalities that date back from time immemorial ,in SA ,have now just been perpetuated.The "EGALITARIAN" country envisaged by Madiba,will not be witnessed in SA,as Boers have been restored to their former status.We have seen videos of white Boer supremacists ill-treating the black folk in SA,all that will be now excerbated by the new unpalatable state of affairs.All what was bequathed to us by our forebearers has been retaken again.Apatheid is being perpetuated.It is now feasible for a new "STATE" called "THE REPUBLIC OF CAPETOWN" to be established.This has always been the wish of the Boers.

SOUTH AFRICANS CAN HAVE THEIR DIFFERENCES, BUT THE MOST ADMIRABLE THING ABOUT THEM THEY DON'T DWELL ON THE POLITICS OF HATE AND ARROGANCE. THEY CAN ENGAGE TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES. REMEMBER CODESA, REMEMBER THE TRC, NOW THEY HAVE A GNU. IN ALL THIS THEY NEVER NEEDED ANY OUTSIDE HELP - NOT THE SADC, AU, OR UN. NOT EVEN A SINGLE NEIGBHOURS INVOLVEMENT. JUST THEM, SOUTH AFRICANS. IN ZIMBABWE, TSHONA ARROGANCE AND PRIDE OF MAJORITY NUMBERS IS THE COUNTRY CURSE. IF ANY PARTY HAS THE POWER, FORGET ABOUT ANY ENGAGEMENT. THE COUNTRY WOULD RATHER GO TO THE DOGS. EVERYTIME IS VOETSEK, GO TO HELL, WESTERN PUPPETS, ROBHENGURA, BHIKA DORO, VENE, ISU ISU. WHAT A SHIIIIT OF A COUNTRY!!!!!!

JUST LOOK AT ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, EVERYTHING IS MASVINGO NE TARA AND MASHONALAND. NOTHING OR VERY LITTLE IN MATEBELELAND. YET WHEN THE MATEBELELAND PEOPLE SAY WE ARE NOT PART OF ZIMBABWE, ZANU AND THE SHONA GO ON A WAR PATH IN ANGER!

Not under a Sshona govt. As long as the Sshona continue to believe in MWANAWEKUMUSHA and IDYA NEHAMA, Khohlwa. Zimbabwe as a country will never develop as a country to be like SA, or Western countries. It will only have pockets of development here and there, especially where the politically powerful come from.

Well done to the SA oppositions. They have shown that they are mature in politics and they have heart with their country and people. Unlike in Zimbabwe, the oppositions are different. Chamisa was invited to POLAD and he refused saying heee it has small parties and he cannot work with them. Now look in SA, smaller opposition parties have joined hands with ANC to put the country forward. Shame on you Zimbabwe oppositions especially Neroless Chamisa. Chamisa should learn from SA opposition how opposition politics is done kwete kuoma musoro kunge damba.

Well done to the SA oppositions. Now Chamisa should learn from SA oppositions how politics is managed no matter that you are an opposition. Kufambaira mberi kwenyika ndiko kwakakosha kwete kuoma musora kunge damba sa Chamisa. Chamisa refused to be in POLAD saying heeee ine tuma small parties, ko ngaatarise ka twuma small parties twapinda mu GNU ne ANC kuratidza maturity in politics. Hapana kwatinosvika nana Chamisa ava vanodhonzera kumas**** nxaaaa

POLAD cannot be compared with the South African GNU. POLAD is a one man creation, NOT by consensus. POLAD has no functional instruments. It was created by Mnangagwa to hero worship himself

Now that the structure of the South African GNU is agreed, Ramaphosa's tenure at the helm of South Africa for the next five years is secure. Secure not because of the ANC,  but because of the DA. Has the ANC got a majority in Parliament,  Ramaphosa would not have survived because of the tensions within the upper echelons of the ANC. This became crystal clear in the aftermath of the election when the ANC NEC met to chart the configuration of the GNU. Some in the NEC were vehemently opposed to an alliance with the DA. That hasn't changed. Secondly,  the ANC's fortunes have taken a nosedive under the watch of Ramaphosa. He will be blamed for the lacklustre performance during the polls. He will be the sacrificial lamb sooner than later. While his leadership on the ANC is shaky, the national presidency is safe because to remove Ramaphosa will require support from the DA. I don't foresee the DA participate in internal affairs of the ANC to unseat Ramaphosa. The DA is principled and is not likely to appease the left-leaning faction within the ANC which wants to see that back of Ramaphosa. While in three years time Cyril's tenure at the helm of the ANC comes to an end,  he is most likely to remain State President,  courtesy of a principled DA. In forming the government and piloting governmental relations, Cyril has of necessity to be courting DA support on each step. Herein lies opportunity for a change in foreign policy. The most likely Beneficiaries are Zimbabwe and Israel.  Ramaphosa's support for the Palestine cause is likely to be moderated.  As for Zimbabwe,  its a wait and see situation.  I keep my fingers crossed.

at least you have a modicum of analysis but you are still an uncòûth and unrepentant regime change agenda purveyor

Where did you hear about Regime Change? Do you even know what that means? Did you coin the phrase, or you just copied and followed?

It's in the best interest of the ANC right now to stick with Ramaphosa. As things stand, the ANC has no credible leadership to take over. Paul Mashatile is a disaster of past corruption rumors always swirling around him. He also lacks the political gravitas, dignity required of the office. People forget ukuthi Ramaphosa is a Billionaire Business man. He really doesn't need this job.

The Presidency is a WANT, not a NEED for Ramaphosa. He is a Billionaire in his own right!

This spells doom for South Africa, by elbowing MK and EFF, ANC is selling itself out.
Vesto · 9 months ago
ANC is not selling out. First it has no choice because it doesn't have parliamentary majority. Secondly it is the wishes of the South African peoples who put ANC and DA first and second. With the MK Party playing Prima Donna, questioning the democratic process and taking democratic institutions to court, it deserves the cold shoulder it is now getting. As for the left wingers EFF and FFPlus, let them remain in the opposition fringes where they belong.
