While political analysts have opposing views on the GNU, they agree that it is beginning to improve South Africa's economy.
JOHANNESBURG - With 30 September marking 100 days since the establishment of the Government of National Unity , political analysts have expressed satisfaction with its accomplishments thus far.
The African National Congress was forced to run the country with various political parties following its dismal electoral showing, which saw it lose its majority in the National Assembly. While political analysts have opposing views on the GNU, they agree that it is beginning to improve South Africa's economy.Before President Cyril Ramaphosa revealed his multi-party executive, there were concerns that his government might be plagued by political conflicts due to the differing policy views among the parties in the GNU.
However, political analyst, Professor Kedibone Phago believes that the Government of National Unity has surpassed his expectations, indicating that the various parties have managed to set aside their differences. "The Government of National Unity has, in my view, stabilised our governance challenges quite significantly with the various political parties that came together to form the GNU.""You get the sense that it's now about selling the GNU, building and creating confidence in the GNU going forward."
