Seven party leaders have committed to put South Africa first as they come together to map out the formation of a pact intended to unseat the ANC in the 2024 elections.
FF Plus leader Pieter Groenewald said it was not the responsibility of politicians alone to unseat the ANC.
Groenewald said the only way to save South Africa is if “we get rid of the ANC government. There is no other way”.He said he expects the discussions to be underpinned by trust, loyalty and “ensuring we will do everything we can to unseat the ANC government”. The UIM’s Neil de Beer, who participated in the Codesa talks as a young member of the ANC’s military wing Umkhonto we Sizwe, said the day was about putting South Africans first.“I have a lot of hope. Challenges we will face today, separate agendas and opinions we will have, elephants in rooms will be cold today, matters of rumours and pathetic judgments will be settled. I cannot commit that I will walk with you on this journey, but I will give it a damn good go until the end.
