2024 Elections | A turning point for South Africa on the global stage

The past 30 years have seen the ANC holding on to its majority, allowing it to largely shape policy here and abroad. Now the picture has changed slightly, the party may need to negotiate policy positions with a coalition partner or partners. So what does this mean for some positions the country has taken on the global stage?

DA is for continuedExploitation by WMC

[@sashalaurel8285]

The issue is not policy as policy is progressive, where we lack is implementation. A coherent voice may not be what we need, it's okay to disagree, the executive needs to be held accountable.

Manifestos end on paper in Africa

[@JohanThiart]

It is time to take the training wheels off!!

[@mulamulelilumadi4717]

Wish they discussed eswatini and other regional country relations more

[@thomasprogli3372]

The Public Protector's office is crucial for ensuring accountability in South Africa. To enhance fairness and representation, it should consist of three heads, each from the three largest political parties. This approach would ensure a balanced and unbiased oversight, reflecting diverse perspectives and strengthening our democracy. What do you think? #PublicProtector #SouthAfrica #FairGovernance

[@mash359]

interesting road ahead

[@JohanThiart]

I think it is time to place the interest of the common people of South Africa first. Like in 1994.

[@StoicResilienceHub]

We are going to be okay. Soon we will have a first world country. We will have trains and bus services on our door steps

[@reteipegal7690]

You took a first world country from the settlers and destroyed it. You make no sense. Your dream will never become a reality. The old African way is best, and is your future.

[@tanialouw8246]

We don't have time to worry about Russia and China communists,we need to do what's best for SA and her failing economy and and and

[@ayanda6862]

It's called Rama-Done for South Africa 🇿🇦 no more Nelson Mandela's legacy flag soon ,something not right

[@simonmbuthia7281]

When the ANC government thought supporting Hamas and fighting Israel is their most important responsibility, that's when the rain started beating them, and things can only get worse.

[@MuantanamoMobile]

NonsenseNonsense

[@PeterNkuna-cw2xs]

Please must be qualified. Honest, Reliable and Trustworthy. Those who is found of any corruption must be gone. This is the time for the people. Please create jobs for all to have food and a place to stay. Electricity and water.

[@mandlakabini8397]

ANC , IFP EFF, PA and they must find each other in all possible policies. Let DA and MK take the opposition as they are opposing in their nature. South Africa's will eventually find themselves..More collaboration must come from all of them including the opposition.. One mistake, back to AFRICA. Finally we are hear and back to a common ground. South Africa needs all of you for a better future and forget about the international world. Let's begin building again.

[@deborahdube2777]

Absolute NO to the DA, I pray the ANC can come together again( these are all breakaway parties), put aside differences and work together to forge a better future for this country, this country cannot get up until the least in society are at least given a chance at education, healthcare and empowerment. 30 years democracy vs over 400 years probably even more of unfair treatment, people need to recover, things that will not help need to be put aside and the focus needs to be on what will profit this country. I hope for common goals to chased rather than differences.

[@caydenvayce5037]

[@pierrejoubert7195]

Why is this guy talking about other countries???

[@tatendawilson3057]

South Africa is on earth whatever direction she take will affect you as a citizen.

[@pierrejoubert7195]

But Ukraine/Russia war is irrelevant in this context. How will it affect coalition talks? There are much more important things that needs to get discussed then a war on another continent.

[@ndumisondumisoo2412]

​@@tatendawilson3057ukungazi lutho kyahlupha. DA does not like bricks , Palestinian ,relationships with zimbabwe that we trade with , ect
