Hope for cool heads to prevail in GNU talks
President Cyril Ramaphosa has accused the Democratic Alliance of jeopardising the foundation of setting up a Government of National Unity. In a leaked letter, Ramaphosa says the DA has made negotiating difficult.
Political analyst Dr Ongama Mtimka weighs in.

Was Ramaphosa even a person whose word is his pride or integrity? Since he became president he made empty promises to the people of South Africa

Why keep saying DA "demands " If terms were negotiated before squirrel was inaugurated- how can ANC suddenly be surprised!😮
At last an honest evaluation.
Communities warned ANC years back. They never listened. Message was very clear and Loud. ANC can be replaced.

THIS IS HALF-TRUE: the root cause of this movie has everything to do with the fact that the ANC failed in AMENDING the CONSTITUTION and advance to elect the president of the republic DIRECTLY IN 2 ROUNDS. Once you've done that almost all the problems disappear like the proverbial snow in the sun: a. the president will have a DIRECT mandate from the electorate; 2. he, for having WON the election has his own party literally towing his line, while jogging for positions in office; 3. he, from a position of electoral strength can invite who HE wants for dinner. I also suggest that SA moves to AMEND the CONSTITUTION to introduce the office of the PRIME-MINISTER. The current prime ministers of the provinces should hence on be called GOVERNORS!

Don't point fingers at Ramadollar. ANC thieves overpower Ramadollar in the NEC meeting. These thieves don't want DA cos stealing won't freely and easier. With the DA in the mix, many ANC thieves will go to jail including Zuma.
What the DA wants is less than what their quota entitles them to. They are being quite reasonable but the ANC is having difficulty in giving up a share of it's power. If the DA walks and is replaced by MK and EFF will their demands be less than the DA's ?

Well explained SIR 100% correct.....
Create a minister of green energy, minister of red grapes post and if we refuse the "bloating" of cabinet then we will have a choice to make as the DA.
I think the ANC and DA have reached an agreement & that these leaked letters are nothing but a way of trying to convince us that your negotiations weren't easy.

@@silaskhalishwayo you have a skewed perception. Naturally the majority Of South Africa is black however the ideologies are different. One is Marxism and the others are socialism, communism and free markets and capitalism with a smattering of socialism. Regardless of whether you think the DA is "white" you couldn't be further from the truth. According to stats approx 8% of the population is European so where does the rest of the votes for the DA come from? Riddle me that batman .... Please .... Of course you could come back with some derogative comment such as those who vote for the DA are "coconuts" but of course that is just a very ignorant insult in the hope you attract more blacks to your point of view because "nobody wants to be labeled a coconuts" but there again you have to ask yourself why all the politicians children attend private schools and study overseas as well as the politicians get private medical aid whereas the majority receive poor service in all departments and the hospital is a place where people go to die. Communism .... Some are more equal than others. Ps, did you know that in South Africa there are more black dollar billionaires than European and the black middle class is far far larger than the European middle class? Makes one wonder why you don't research your material before shouting your ignorance on line. My suggestion? Shut up, grow up and stop taking those lies spouted by politicians as to be self evident.

I don’t think the DA is aggrieved by the inclusion of the other parties per se… but the problem is when the ANC tries to decide how many ministries positions should be allocated to each party as if they are doing favours to the DA…
If the DA walks away from this GNU, is a two can play a game scenario . Never humiliate your partner in negotiations , unless pushed at a corner by your opponents. Open card type of negotiations. Watching this space with anticipation. Don't sellout the Trade and Insdustry ministry , a very vital component of the poor. They should cool off and meet each other to move forward , but never display weakness to your opponent. GogoZille is a an obstacle and a thorn in a flesh, she needs to stand aside as she is not the leader of the DA in parliament, but DA have allowed her dominancy and her bulliness to stand on their way. I can see EFF and MK waiting eagerly for the fall out, especially Malema the opportunist. They will eventually find each other again, we need to clean this country of corruption and create jobs. ❤❤
Doctor, can you tell us, is the ANC entitled to decide how many ministries should each party get? Secondly, how many ministries should be allocated to the ANC bearing in mind that the position of the president and deputy are theirs already?
ANC is in a corner, the electorate gave them 40% of the vote. Now make the right decision for the country, not the party.

Hi my favorite seasoned Political analyst. Let cool and matured heads lead. There are internal dynamics within parties , very tense and grand standing.Very sensitive grandstanding negotiation. Section 17, the Pres has the ultimatum to appoint the cabinet as stipulated in the Constitution.
ANC needs the DA. The ANC can't handle the responsibility of running South Africa.

Indeed SA citizens can replace parties that are party serving while preaching GNU in the media, 5 years is just around the corner we are carefully considering. Perhaps a new legislation giving guidance on the cabinet of the GNU will suffice with the requirements that must be used to make the selection of the said ministers. Coz absolute power by the President also undermines balance of powers bcoz Presidents can also abuse their power as we have seen in the past.
The only political analysis who knows what he is talking about and not giving a biased opinion. Great talk.
Playing to the gallery.
The ANC should also reevaluate what benefit their alliance with the SACP, they receive.. I believe in that relationship, only the SACP benefits. If the SACP were to stand for elections on their own, they will be just as "successful"... Lol as RISE, Bosasa etc.. Blade and 1 or 2 others will at best get a MP position.. No minsterial position!

The SACP must join with EFF. Their ideology align better with Malema.
Very objective. At the forefront of the best political analysis I have heard during this period.
If they cannot find each other then let other parties be considered. The DA differ ideologically with the ANC and the EFF also slightly differ with the ANC . So If the DA walk away , then let EFF walk in so that the government can function. This stalemate must fall.
Dr Mtimka always speaks in logic and fact......
Enough talk, we need action. Our health system has failed 😢 its completely broken. The sick are suffering 😢
So, now if the ANC go to MKP and EFF and offer them more ministries than they offered the DA...
We are tired with the bickering of these unholy marriage. Let divorce papers be served speedily
Let re-vote so that ANC can get that 51%. Or MK gets 40% EFF 11% ATM 2%= 53%

Hayi Gqr.iyicacisile qha ngxaki someone else was supposed to organize a GNU not a weak, useless and defeated Ramaphosa who has run the ANC to the ground. May be religious groups should have led this thing. On the cool heads we have had them for 40 years and that has lead us nowhere, ngoku we have to ruffle each other up, be robust, combative etc because the ship is sinking and Ramaphosa and his ANC have no clue. Le yoba there are other members to form a coalition with I would have said go to them, MK ne Eff en PA bizobaqhawula umqala hayi le nqala😅
ANC must give up their positions to the smaller parties they invited to join the GNU. DA ggave them no authority to give away their seats
That letter was drafted by NEC, Ramaphosa was forced to sign and forward it. ANC is not accepting defeat, 40% means powerless, Mayibuye
They wanted ANC to bow in we are watching thread steadily
A letter from the Steenhuizen to Ramaphosa also leaked. It reads. "Stop being a POES"

Without the EFF and MKP in the GNU, ANC should have 57% (40/72) = 17 of the 30 ministries and the DA should have 31% (22/72) = 9. But if you do ANC maths, younwont understand that. Sonyou jeed to have 9 MPs for wvery ministry. So those Mickey Mouse parties with one or two MPs, well...

I dont think it is important for DA to tell South Africans about what they did for Ramaphosa ,whatever they did was between them and him. because Ramaphosa does not own the country. Any thing they did for him is corruption.
