ANC clarifies GNU partner dynamics, dismisses Zille’s narrative

The African National Congress (ANC) has had some scathing words for its biggest Government of National Unity (GNU) partner the Democratic Alliance (DA), saying that clarity is needed on what the real make up  of the GNU is.

This comes as a rift continues to grow between the two- parties, following the DA’s refusal to support the adoption of the Fiscal Policy Framework in Parliament last week.

The parties have been at loggerheads, with cracks continuing to grow as the parties disagree on policy stances.

The ANC’s national spokesperson, Mahlengi “Bhengu” Motsiri clarifies.

“I also just need to debunk this myth that never disappears that we’re in a coalition with the DA, Helen Zille’s narrative. We’re not, we’re in a relationship with all the parties who are signatories to the Government of National Unity, we’re not in a coalition with a party that obtained 20-percent of the national vote share, when we have 40-percent of the national vote share, surely that cannot be correct. We’re not sharing power with the DA, in a way they’re trying to reconstruct the narrative about the Government of National Unity.”
