The ANC NEC has decided to try and form a Government of National Unity. How will this work and what will it look like?
Last night, ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the party had decided that the “best way forward” would be to form a GNU.
It also means that Ramaphosa could appoint a deputy president who is not a leader of the ANC. Another party could also occupy the position of Finance Minister. • the Cabinet would have not more than 27 members appointed by the president in consultation with the executive deputy presidents and the leaders of parties participating in the GNU;
“Who or what holds the feet of a minority government to the fire to ensure that we can live out the constitutional values and the preamble makes very big commitments. And these are the issues that are important. Key must be the quality of public services and what happens in the lives of people. Key must be a commitment by every party that participates. You can’t have this complex of many parties without doing those kinds of things.
