We are very excited about this arrangement. Viva ANC/DA/IFP.

I agree what TM says about 'the quality of the maturity' ... it will take extremely mature Parliamentarians and robust engagements. This could shift the debates in Parliament and see it fulfil its mandate in a very responsible way.

[@davidcooper2552]

Totally agree , this will highlight anyone who's doing it for the people or for their own Gain !! Total maturity is needed

It is really true bcs 60% of ANC was captured by Mafias and they were more than willing to do whatever they can in order to get rid of those who are against their corrupt doings hence, it was not easy for them to accept cleansing or that renewal process of the organization from the NEC members,MPs,cadres down to members to their supporters...

[@AapVanDieKaap]

A very, very clever man. I hope to see him back in cabinet.

[@phikavuma6595]

The individual, often regarded as a Rothschild affiliate, is now addressing national unity. During his tenure as finance minister, he approved a contentious arms deal yet remarkably avoided any legal repercussions. He also appointed his close associate, Edward Kieswetter, as the Commissioner of SARS, who is arguably compromising the institution's integrity from within. Additionally, his wife's manipulation of the Rand has had lasting detrimental effects on the South African economy, for which she was subsequently rewarded with a position at the reserve bank. Therefore, giving credence to his rhetoric is unproductive. They present themselves as innocent, yet they are the true culprits, their misdeeds shielded by the establishment and a compromised judiciary.

[@serogolemogole2685]

While foreign affairs like the Israel and Gaza conflict are important, shouldn't we be focusing on fixing our own country and government instead? Discussing these issues seems to distract from the urgent problems we face at home.

[@StreamCast111]

The IFP and the DA forming a coalition with the ANC just shows who the parties who actually fight for all South Africans are. MK and EFF rejecting the coalitian doesnt stand for South Africa as a whole but instead just for themselves. South Africans before African charity starts at home once South Africans are cared for then we can open arms to the rest of the worldd needing Charity. Foreigners who boost the economy should be the ones welcome not those taking basic employment from South Africans.

[@ckoriablack]

This is not GNU but coeletion. Without MK and EFF it remain coeletion. It's either they add MK and EFF or remove IFP to qualify as GNU. As it stands it is a coeletion. Another thing to note: ANC failed to with the majority, so they had no choice but to seek for coeletion, so this is not a heroic moment of sharing power!

[@dinopadayachee8289]

@juniormolefe programmes like the NHI doesn't work in rich first world countries like USA and the UK so how can it work in SA? 🤷‍♂️ I won't argue that it's great as a policy but it can't even get off the ground without increasing taxes on the already struggling middleclass. The immediate solution is to rather have existing hospitals upgraded and get more doctors serving internships at public hospitals. If tax money for infrastructure was actually being used properly, we wouldn't need the NHI at all. With the NHI we'll have people say that it's great for the poor, but the cost of living will go up and we'll actually have more poor people then, it's always a balancing act

[@OldRhino]

The biggest problem with programmes like the NHS is money. Out of an adult population of 40 million only 8 million pay income tax, and almost half the population receive a government grant of one sort or another. So where will the money to finance a program like that come from, when the current public health system is at breaking point due to lack of funding?

[@dinopadayachee8289]

@@OldRhino I understand your point but the picture is actually worse than that. SA population is 60m people and although we only have 7m registered taxpayers, only 5m South Africans actually pay tax. That's largely the middle class. The interesting thing though would be to see how many of those 5m taxpayers register for the elections, then actually cast a vote. The voting population vs the total population is embarrassing, especially given how the political landscape is shaping up
