'This moment calls for the broadest unity of the people of South Africa' – President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The top leadership structure of South Africa’s African National Congress said it will seek to form a government of national unity with opposition groups after last week’s election failed to produce an outright winner.
“They expect us to find common ground, to overcome our differences and to act together for the good of everyone,” added Ramaphosa. That means it will have to secure the support of at least one of its three main rivals to retain power: the business-friendly Democratic Alliance, the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters and former President Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe Party .
