A Unity Government that is hardly unified. Their hatred of White people is just about the only thing in common with the majority. It is still only a matter of time before mass nationalization efforts begin. Even though the Marxist Party was rejected for the coalition.
The African National Congress (ANC) has formed a coalition government with the main opposition, the Democratic Alliance (DA), and the smaller Inkatha Freedom Party, marking a significant shift in South African politics. This new government of national unity comes after the ANC lost its outright majority in the recent elections, capturing only 40% of the vote, a clear signal of public discontent with issues such as economic struggles, high unemployment, and corruption.
BREAKING: African National Congress (ANC) and it’s largest rival, the white-led, pro-business Democratic Alliance have reached a deal to form a unity government.

The coalition was announced during the first parliamentary session in Cape Town, where lawmakers were sworn in, setting the stage for incumbent Cyril Ramaphosa to seek a second term with enhanced support from the DA. This partnership has been received positively by South African markets, with the DA viewed as a business-friendly party that champions clean governance.
There had been concerns that the ANC might ally with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a Marxist-Leninist party known for its radical stances, including the nationalization of mines and banks. However, the EFF declined to join the government, labeling the DA as a “racist” party. This decision by the EFF underscores the complex racial and economic dynamics at play in forming the coalition. They do not want to look overtly racist, even though they are.

The DA, led by John Steenhuisen, faces challenges related to its racial image in a predominantly black country. Despite these challenges, Steenhuisen emphasized that the coalition represents a new chapter in South Africa’s history, focusing on collaboration and problem-solving to address the nation’s pressing issues.
The new government formation was not without its drama. The EFF, known for its disruptive tactics, arrived late to the parliamentary opening but did not disrupt the proceedings. Meanwhile, the uMkhonto weSizwe party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, boycotted the event, alleging election rigging without providing evidence.
Cyril Ramaphosa was set on Friday to be re-elected as South Africa’s president, having brokered a deal with the opposition for a government of national unity after his African National Congress’s worst election result since the end of apartheid. https://t.co/B435QmfXPB

The establishment of this coalition government is supposedly seen as a mature response by the ANC to the electoral setback, contrasting sharply with the political turmoil in other regions, This development is a testament to the resilience of South Africa’s democracy, echoing the country’s history of reconciliation and power-sharing, reminiscent of the first government of national unity formed in 1994 between Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk. The media may call it mature, but as people who know what’s going on, it is a managed decline into dictatorship, culminating soon in mass nationalization and far worse for minorities. Whites have been killed nearly at will by government backed forces. If I were White and still in South Africa, I would be making plans to escape before the next moves against them are started. On every front, South Africa is about to see very hard times.
