Seemingly the GNU of convenience has now seen that the previously failed ANC voter outcome and drop from the majority is not at all showcased in the first test of an “all are equal” pact, writes UIM president Neil de Beer.
We can say it’s early days, but actions speak louder than words and from where I sit, we need positive unity in the GNU, not a marriage of convenience, writes UIM president Neil de Beer.As a true patriot and a person who prides myself as having Struggle credentials, it must be said that after such an election as we experienced in 2024, we demanded more.
The outcome of the election suddenly spurred the idea of a government of national unity, but to me it was clear; this table was already set, prepared and invites were mailed, long before the event — just my gut feeling. As soon as the parties and in specific the following two — the ANC and DA — as main characters, announced that formal talks were taking place, it was very obvious that smoke that was highlighted, indeed proved there was a fire all along.
It was clear from the outset that the parties were so trying to put out smiles and positive rhetoric, with the hope that not only South Africans would buy into the GNU, but also the world. It was my opinion, that the GNU and its current compilation, yes was the best deal we could form, the obvious counter offer of an EFF/MK GNU, too much of a horror to even imagine. It was my opinion, that we would only need wait until the first true policy differences aired, to test if the GNU would hold water.
