SA's Ruling ANC Opts For Government Of National Unity Following Coalition Talks by WannaHowzit(m): 3:16pm On Jun 05
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the African National Congress (ANC) has recommended the formation of a government of national unity.

This decision is set to be announced at an ANC press conference on Wednesday and comes as the ANC seeks to address the aftermath of their dismal election performance where the party lost its majority by a significant margin.

According to sources within the NWC, the ANC is set to collaborate with leading political parties, including the Democratic Alliance (DA), Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), and the Patriotic Alliance (PA) to form a government of national unity.

In a related development, a high-level delegation led by ANC Chairperson Gwede Mantashe and Deputy Secretary General Nomvula Mokonyane has been tasked with engaging former president Jacob Zuma and the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) regarding their potential involvement in the government of national unity.

This comes after moves within the ANC to force a ANC/DA coalition were rejected by a number of NWC members as fears mounted over the fallout a move like that could have on both political parties.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday midday, ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri, confirmed the ANC had been in discussion with the DA, EFF, IFP and the PA. She said they had so far failed to make any meaningful engagements with the MK party.

She said the ANC had been in fruitful discussions with the parties.

”The NWC met on 4 June 2024, two days after the announcements of the results by the IEC, to receive a report from the National Officials on the meetings held thus far with various political parties. These include meetings with delegations from the IFP, the EFF, the DA, the NFP and the PA. The ANC has also had engagements with its Alliance partners, SACP, COSATU and SANCO as part of the consultation process.

”The National Officials reported to the NWC that the ANC has repeatedly reached out to the MKP for an engagement meeting, with no positive response. Our door remains open as we continue to reach out to every party that is keen to contribute positively to moving our country forward.

”The ANC is committed to ensure that we unite the people of South Africa to move our country forward and form a government that reflects the message from the electorate: we must work together,” she said.

Where is MK?

The likely possiblity of ANC in coalition with DA is just so slim because of their political ideology

Both Zuma and Malema are demanding Ramaphosa to step down before they can form any coalition with ANC which I don't see coming

I hate parliamentary democracy. It's very prone to political instability.

MODIFIED: Any of the coalition parties can wake up overnight and withdraw from the govt, automatically triggering another election within weeks.

In Nigeria, they snatched our votes and denied us our choice!!
But some miscreants are happy about it because it's their tribesman, but now the man is showing all of them pepper!!

It's only a fool that will vote his incompetent and useless tribesman, and suffers!!
Wow betide any idiot from my Edo State who thinks I will vote for him to become president when I know he doesn't have anything to offer!

If this was applied in Nigeria then there would have been relative peace and support for the government as the three major contenders would all have a say in the government as each got around 31-37% of the total vote

This is what Gaddafi called for.

He criticised American and western style democracy that preaches a winner takes all mentality which in the end leads to severe disaffection and hatred for the government in power, and the person in power will tend to be stupid and greedy and corrupt cos power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Nigeria needs to return to regional system of government and adopt a coalition government for every election to ensure everyone gets a say.

Nigeria people need to be able to speak directly to the government and make their choices directly on matters of government policy cos the national assembly as presently constituted is a waste of tax payers money and those legislators are only representing themselves

ANC won 40% of the votes and is talking about government of national unity while our APC got 36% and ran away with everything including the bragging power and audacity of failure of previous government.

Ya diba.

Very correct and it reduces cost of governance and also reduces power at the centre.
