GNU | The path to Government of National Unity

The ANC says the primary role of its proposed government of national unity (GNU) will be to deal with the triple challenge of poverty, unemployment and inequality, among others.
The governing party opted for this after failing to secure an absolute majority after last week's election.
To unpack this, we turn to Political Analyst Sandile Swana.

    What the govt needs to realise is that they are here to serve the ppl and to do what's best for the ppl of South Africa and not for other party or corporation. Following this basic rule should give them all the correct direction to take.

    What propaganda is this? The whole point of a GNU is that 1 or 2 parties can't make all the decisions. Also, does he realise that the economy only did well under Mbeki because: He was pro business & investment (current ANC & EFF, MK are anti-business) and, more importantly, he became president merely 6 years after the ANC inherited a roaring, healthy and efficient economy from the Apartheid govt so he really didnt have to much.

    President Ramaphosa has left us in a difficult situation, primarily because he opted for a Government of National Unity (GNU). This decision came after his plan to position John as deputy was exposed, indicating his preference for an ANC-DA coalition over an ANC-MK-EFF coalition. While many ANC members favor an ANC-MK-EFF coalition, Ramaphosa and influential groups in Stellenbosch support an ANC-DA coalition, which would position John as the next president. By announcing the GNU, the Democratic Alliance (DA) will be part of the government, reflecting Stellenbosch's lack of trust in an ANC-MK-EFF government without DA involvement. They prefer the DA to be integrated into the coalition. It is imperative for the ANC to remove Ramaphosa before it’s too late; his actions threaten to leave us in further disarray. While a GNU was understandable in 1994, it is not appropriate in the current context. It appears that Ramaphosa and Stellenbosch had a Plan B-creating a GNU-as a fallback if the ANC-DA coalition plan failed. This maneuver is a profound betrayal.
