CAPE TOWN - President Cyril Ramaphosa says the Government of National Unity is presiding over an era that’s pregnant with possibilities.
Just two and a half months old, Ramaphosa said he’d been speaking glowingly about the new formation because he believed in what the 10 parties could achieve together.Ramaphosa shrugged off the African National Congress' defeat at the polls and is forging ahead with his new political partners. Speaking to journalists at Parliament on Thursday after their first dinner together at Tuynhuys on Wednesday night, Ramaphosa was upbeat their differences can be ironed out.
Ramaphosa believes there’s widespread support for the GNU among ordinary South Africans, even if they don’t all fully understand how the compact works. “Of course, we still need to explain to our people what animal this is, and as we explain, the people get to grips with it, and they understand better, and they appreciate the efforts we are making.”
