The African National Congress (ANC), led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, is forming a Government of National Unity (GNU) after failing to secure a majority in the recent elections. Following a special National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, Ramaphosa emphasized that this coalition aims to address key issues such as job creation, economic growth, and crime, while adhering to principles of social justice and good governance. Though coalition governments can slow decision-making due to necessary compromises, they promote moderate policies and accountability. The ANC will collaborate with various political parties, including the EFF, DA, and IFP, to form this unified government. This move is seen as essential for national development and addressing the needs of all South Africans. (The Citizen).
