The ANC’s 100-day unity celebration was overshadowed by internal tensions and protests against the DA partnership.
The ANC’s celebration of the first 100 days of the government of national unity was more funereal than celebratory.
In a similar vein, the ANC on Monday celebrated the first 100 days of the government of national unity , which saw it enter into a de facto coalition with its previously despised enemies, the DA. A symbol perhaps of the discordance the GNU has caused in the ANC’s much-depleted post-electoral parliamentary ranks.
Ramaphosa gamely picked up the baton from Mbalula in his own address. This was most definitely not a celebration, the president said. It seems not everyone got the memo. Supporters of Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi, who has challenged the GNU national agreement by refusing to cooperate with the DA at a provincial level, displayed anti-GNU, pro-Lesufi placards in a silent protest during the singing of the anthem.Mbalula, introducing the speakers, threatened the Lesufi-backing anti-GNU protesters with disciplinary action.
