The DA's decision to remain in the Government of National Unity raises questions about its commitment to accountability and market stability.
South Africa ’s Democratic Alliance has long positioned itself as the party of accountability, market-friendly policies, and a real alternative to ANC dominance.
The GNU, formed after no party won an outright majority, brought together a coalition of smaller parties under ANC leadership- explicitly excluding the more radical EFF and MK Party. The DA, once a fierce critic of the ANC’s corruption and mismanagement, quickly signed on, insisting it could moderate government policy from within.
In doing so, the party betrays the very voters who turned to it for change and accountability. Many South Africans voted for the DA because they wanted a genuine alternative - a party willing to challenge the ANC’s failures head-on, not one that quietly enables them for the sake of political convenience.
