Carol Paton | Mature note struck by ANC and DA inspires hope for coalition agreement
The mature note struck in the post-election speeches of the ANC and DA bodes well for coalition talks between the two parties this week.
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula, who frequently uses the public platform to make jibes at political opponents or provoke outrage, was visibly humbled by the outcome and cut a sober figure. While the ANC had won the most votes, said the ANC statement, the electorate had sent it a clear message. "The results also show people's concerns about shortcomings in governance and delivery. We enter a new term with… a firm commitment to improve the maintenance of infrastructure and the provision of services in communities."South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future. News24 has kept the country informed for 25 years, and we're about to enter a new chapter of fearless journalism.
