COALITION NATION | Secret ANC, DA talks 'positive' as ruling party woos opposition parties
The ANC would prefer a GNU that includes the IFP and other smaller parties, also to ensure Ramaphosa's re-election.
With only a week left before 400 members of Parliament choose the country's next president, the ANC is scrambling to meet with as many of the 18 parties represented in the National Assembly to secure President Cyril Ramaphosa's re-election. News24 understands the governing party has set up office at a hotel in Johannesburg to which opposition leaders were invited over the weekend for confidential coalition talks. The DA's negotiations team met the ANC on Saturday in what was described as a"positive" meeting. This happened after the DA released its coalitions framework to the ANC on Friday.
The talks happened behind a veil of secrecy, with nobody in either party willing to share details of the state of negotiations.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
