File Picture: Itumeleng English / Independent Newspaper Helen Zille , Chairperson of the Democratic Alliance’s Federal Council, has received significant backlash on X after calling out the ANC’s unilateral approach to the upcoming National Dialogue.
Responding to the announcement, Zille tweeted, “We made it clear, from the start of the GNU negotiations, that the National Dialogue must be a joint initiative, planned and executed by the key GNU governance partners. But here goes the ANC, unilaterally as usual, as if they won the election.” Her remarks prompted widespread criticism from X users, many of whom called for her to leave the Government of National Unity if she disagreed with Mashatile’s approach.
Remember you were invited to the GNU so you are going to follow whatever the head of state says or leave.. simple@Melanin_Mmaps remarked, “The DA has been threatening to leave the GNU but won’t because they stand more to lose. If they were principled like they claim to be, they would have long left the GNU . But they are enjoying the benefits of power and corruption too much to leave.”
