Differences over the allocation of Cabinet positions have the potential to erode public confidence in the Government of National Unity.
As the fight for Cabinet positions threatens to collapse the Government of National Unity , President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday urged the united parties to put aside their ‘narrow interests’ and channel their efforts to the creation of an ‘inclusive government’.
“The formation of the second GNU is a momentous development in South Africa’s democracy. Every effort must be made to ensure that the GNU remains true to its founding spirit of collaboration in good faith, to drive a programme that improves the lives of all South Africans,” said Ramaphosa. “We remain committed to consensus-building and to the representation of a broad range of interests and viewpoints within government. At the same time, we are all aware that South Africans expect action, implementation and results,” he said.“The ANC notes with concern that some parties have been making outlandish and outrageous demands for specific Cabinet positions in the media.
