ActionSA’s national chairperson, Micheal Beaumont said in real terms, no reforms have arisen from the birth of the GNU.
It said while there seems to be an uptake in confidence over the new government, it’s got little to do with how it’s performed but the optimistic spirit of South Africans.
The GNU is a power-sharing deal brokered by the former liberation movement after it failed to garner a clear majority in the May general elections. It’s also delivered a cabinet made up of representations across the political spectrum with parties such as the ANC, Democratic Alliance , Inkatha Freedom Party , Freedom Front Plus and the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania .ActionSA’s national chairperson Micheal Beaumont said in real terms, no reforms have arisen from the birth of the GNU.
“Because a policy lekgotla was supposed to take place, it’s been radio silence coming out of that space, instead what we see is the NHI being brought back to life, the BELA Bill coming into effect, we see the secrecy bill, someone blowing the dust off that and starting to bring that back, we see the largest cabinet we’ve seen in the history of South African politics.”
Beaumont also decried what he termed a pre-defence of President Cyril Rmaphosa’s Phala Phala saga as part of the compromise made by parties in negotiations to join the ANC-led coalition.“I'm gonna venture a prospective here that at the end of this term of office, what we’re actually going to see is a multi-party delivery of the same ANC politics that was voted out in 2024.”
