However, the talks proved to be fruitless, as the Hendricks rejected any tie-up with a GNU that included the DA, saying it would “return the country to white rule”.“The country’s economy should be controlled by Blacks; the reparation of land will not be achieved by a GNU.

And Hendricks also expressed reservation with any GNU involving signatories to the Multi-party Charter, due to some of the parties’ stance on the war between Hamas and Israel.which is anti-humanitarian, supports the genocide of Palestinians and its policies are anti-poor, leaving the vast majority of South Africans out in the cold,” says Hendricks.“Al Jama feels that is a cloud.
