2024 Elections | ANC wants to form a government of national unity

After failing to secure an outright majority, the ANC can no longer govern alone. Now ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa says the ANC has agreed to invite other parties to form a government of national unity. #DStv403

The ANC played it well by not choosing any specific party to form a government with. Instead, they invited all parties because the moment you choose a specific party, you give them leverage to make demands. The parties have to willingly join the national unity government. Parties like the EFF were making demands, such as insisting that Floyd must be finance minister. PA wants Gayton to be Minister of Home Affairs, while the MK party wants Ramaphosa to resign. Giving such parties leverage is risky. ANC knows a government won't be formed without ANC

I think we are in for a tough ride it's going to be difficult

One can only hope that this second attempt at a government of national unity won't be the same level of disaster as the first one after 1994 that lasted all of 18 months.
This time, however, none of the participants has a majority so they have to make it work.
All in all it is not a bad idea if the individual egos and self serving natures of some party leaders can be contained.

So process, process, process indecision as usual

Wasting our time speak to us when you have reached your decision

There we go again big government with 1000 ministers from a parliament of only 400 MPs

[geee]

....ANC-DA coalition is simply likening NATO-BRICS coalition. Afrikans must learn to be decisive. That will be a repeat of 1994 which has brought the current socio-economic status. Simply ignore fear-mongering...

Mr Shortermism himself keeping himself safe. Clever old man keeping himself away from the prison at the expense of the Republic.

If the ANC has learnt anything it would realize party politics does no one any favours.
In stead of a reduced cabinet as promised Ramaphosa again broke his promise and saddled tax payers with a bloated cabinet. If he had renegotiate the salaries to not exceed that of the planned cabinet that would have been barely acceptable.
The ANC should have been brave enough to keep 40% of the positions and invited in other parties.
Those like EFF who elected to join must live with the consequences. This isn't about politicians. It's about all South Africans and our country. MPs need to remember, they are public servants.

Well, i actually like this idea, it is innovative, bold, and inclusive. Wish all politics would look for the common good of all the electorate when forming democratic government. I wish them every success in this endeavour 💐👍

I hold South Africa dear because it presented the Israel plausible genocide case to the ICJ. A great historic moment for the world of man in pursuance of our better selves, our humanitarian values, and possible maturing as a species ♥️💚🖤💛💜💖

ANC is known of failing to make a decision

[donno]

Well no thanks should to be as simple as that a bigger government?

[loo-he]

Rest in peace ANC you dont have votes anymore😂😂 You don't know who you represent😂😂

[themotobanditshow]

How about you do your job and start fixing things and get the economy going. Stop with committee politics and task teams. How long has the ANC been in power? Nothing works!

[lidlamini]

He looks stressed 🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂umnyisile uZuma

[robertabrahams]

Maybe the ANC Ministers are regretting Not having voted to make ALL Ministers ministers for life, then there wouldn't be this stressing at losing their place at the table
😢

[maxinepokbaas]

What the gender to have a national government unity with the other parties and Anc as done nothing to improve our country over all these years
I pray that people open their eyes to see through this party
