South Africa to Launch ‘Government of National Unity’ with Leading Opposition Party
Breitbart ^ | 06/14/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

South Africa’s new government is a “Government of National Unity” (GNU) between the formerly dominant African National Congress (ANC), the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA), and the Zulu Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP).

The new government is the result of a coalition agreement that was announced Friday, shortly before a deadline to cast votes in Parliament for the country’s president. Current President Cyril Ramaphosa will be returning to office.

The ANC fell from 57% in 2019 to just over 40% in the 2024 elections last month. The DA, with nearly 22% of the vote, was the second-largest party. The radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), formerly third-largest, fell to under 10%, while the Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party of former President Jacob Zuma made its debut at nearly 15%.

Would have been a lot more stupid if it included the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Which reminds me of what George Carlin said, “If fire fighters fight fires, and crime fighters fight crime, what do freedom fighters fight?”

Sounds like what we have in the U.S. A coalition unity uniparty where they all fight against the citizens.

Any political party or entity that espouses “Unity” always delivers division and hatred.
