DA Sets Condition For Unity Government: No MK Party, EFF, Or PA

South Africa’s Democratic Alliance (DA) party has said it will only agree to be part of the African National Congress (ANC) proposed government of national unity (GNU) if the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), and Patriotic Alliance (PA) are excluded, reported SABC News.

On Thursday, ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the party was seeking to form a government of national unity with a broad group of parties including EFF, IFP, DA, NFP and PA.

The ANC has laid down stringent conditions under which parties would be included in the pact. Said Ramaphosa:

All parties must commit to shared values, nation building and social cohesion. These values include respect for the constitution of the Republic of SA and the rule of law, social justice and equity, human dignity, non-racialism and non-sexism. These values also include stability, accountability, transparency and good governance.
Agreements between parties who will be involved in this whole process should be in writing, they should be public and they should also be transparent and include measures to hold all participants accountable.

The DA said it hopes to receive details on how the government of national unity will operate in its next meeting with the ANC. DA national spokesperson Werner Horn said:

The President was not very specific in terms of the characteristics of such a government of national unity. We will hopefully get some more detail from them, and then the duty of that negotiating team will be to bring the specifics back to the federal executive.
And on Monday, the Federal Council will have to decide; but even the smallest inclusion of those three parties, well, in terms of the current resolution of the federal executive, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for us to be included.

The ANC lost its Parliamentary majority for the first time in its 30 years of rule after the end of apartheid in 1994.

The ANC got 40.18% support, with the DA on 21.81% votes, the former president Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) got 14.58%, and EFF got 9.52% votes.

With South Africa’s proportional representation system, the ANC has to combine with one or more other parties to attain more than 50% of the vote to form a government.

We should allow the people of South Africa to choose from what makes them happy. Their democratic system allows flexibility, inclusion and cohesion as they respect the colours of what makes a true Rainbow Nation. Fate has left the Revolutionaries Vulnerable but perhaps it will be good for THEIR economy.

if truly ANC is ever loving to revive SA's dying economy, they must swallow their pride and work hand in hand with the DA.. MK is a sort of mafia like, it's values are not known very well because Zuma is trying to fix his former party, Malema has got the deadliest policies that l once witnessed when he started to gain ground in the lompopo region, all the farm owners ran away and now most of the farms and orchards in the lois trichard are now producing less than what they used to do, worse still with his kiss the boer thing, l don't think the economy will last more than 2months under his rule

Ithink it's worthwhile having a fractional or percentage proportional distribution of all selected party representatives in their August House ANC, has a larger chunk, followed by DA, so their power sharing ratio would be 40:26, other minority party reps would be in the difference that's my suggestion

chazvakanakira ANC and EFF cannot make the 50% mark. those guys ar just one and the same. so at least we are going to have some new blood in South African rule different from these so called revolutionary what what. but the bottom line is, these so called revolutionary parties have fallen out of favor with the pple. those old parties have failed to adapt with the changing times. they now old and incompatible, the chief culprit being zanu of Zimbabwe.

Technically the DA, is all right cause EFF MK these parties are racists , they are quick to jump to utter racial sentiments of mabhunu this yet the DA community is after saving The SA and it's economy and Southern African region economy as well

Malema · 9 months ago

This is a gvt of national unity where all the parties who were voted for have a say. Non has a majority and hence DA can't see itself as superior to other parties. it is just as good as the rest of the parties.
