Cyril Ramaphosa | BELA Bill engagement shows that GNU will not only survive, but thrive
Act, government is seeking to establish a culture of openness and dialogue among government of national unity parties. We are also drawing on a long history in South Africa of engagement among parties on matters on which they seem far apart, On Wednesday last week, the leaders of the parties that form the government of national unity met to reflect on how the GNU is working.
The parties also agreed on a common minimum programme that would form the basis of the work of the GNU. At its first Cabinet Lekgotla in mid-July, Ministers and Deputy Ministers drawn from the GNU partners, together with directors-general and other officials, developed priority actions to give effect to the minimum programme.
There was general agreement among the party leaders last week that the GNU made a good start. They believe that the GNU is working well and that everyone is playing a constructive role.As party leaders, we nevertheless recognise that the parties in the GNU represent a range of political and ideological perspectives. There are issues on which we disagree and there will be times when differences between the parties will become more apparent.
