The Government of National Unity (GNU) in South Africa now includes ten political parties.The African National Congress (ANC) confirmed that the Al Jama-ah party has joined the GNU, bringing the coalition to represent 70% of the vote in the 2024 elections.

The ANC and DA are reported in a standoff over the DA’s demands for the deputy president position and control of key economic clusters in the government of national unity .The DA’s insistence on these demands has led to a deadlock, potentially delaying the announcement of the GNU Cabinet, the report said.

If the ANC were to agree, it would necessitate either dismissing Mashatile or demoting him to a ministerial position, which would escalate tensions within the ruling party.Most ANC members view the DA as being unreasonable, while some believe the ANC has little choice but to negotiate.
