The National Working Committee (NWC) of the African National Congress (ANC) has suggested the establishment of a government of national unity. The announcement of this decision is scheduled to take place at an ANC press conference on Wednesday. It is a significant move as the ANC aims to tackle the aftermath of its disappointing election results, which led to the loss of its majority.
As per inside sources from the National Working Committee (NWC), it is being reported that the African National Congress (ANC) is aiming to forge partnerships with key political entities, including the Democratic Alliance (DA), Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), and the Patriotic Alliance (PA) to establish a unity government. Moreover, a senior delegation led by ANC Chairperson Gwede Mantashe and Deputy Secretary General Nomvula Mokonyane has been entrusted with the responsibility of engaging former president Jacob Zuma and the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) to explore the possibility of their involvement in the unity government. This development comes in the wake of efforts within the ANC to push for a coalition with the DA, which faced opposition from several NWC members who expressed concerns about the potential repercussions for both parties.
