South Africa’s ruling ANC reaches coalition deal with rival parties

South Africa might be about to swear in the incumbent Cyril Ramaphosa for a second term but it is by no means business as usual.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Mr Ramaphosa's African National Congress party was humbled at the election 2 weeks ago, losing its ruling majority for the first time since they took power after apartheid.
So Mr Ramaphosa was forced to negotiate a coalition agreement with the second largest Democratic Alliance party, today forming a new national unity government.

He's gladly cooperated to form the coalition looking forward. Before the next general election, the changes in south Africa would have significantly changed for better.

[@frikkied2638]

“SA needs a pivot into a direction of a more equal society” ??? I would say we should focus on being a country with a stronger economic focus, a not constantly failing electricity grid and a more attractive outlook for foreign investment. It’s so annoying to me this constant focus still on the A word, it’s literally just a tool used by politicians and not something most South Africans think about on a daily basis as these news stories would make people believe.

Bless SA ❤ Their democracy was so hard won. I realise they have problems, but considering all the apartheid apologists were saying the whole country will be ablaze without it.. 🤷‍♀️ Coupled with that they had a 70% voter turn-out! What's the UK's? 50%? Less on July 4th i recon.. I'd say their population is very invested in their democratic process. Europe could learn something..

[@hetki]

SA had a 58.6% voter turn out. You can check in the iec's website voter dashboard for clarity about the stats.

[@thembelandesi4741]

They were right the country has been ablaze, corruption everywhere, no electricity, high poverty, deteriorating infrastructure, dirty streets, high unemployment rate. Our trains are literally gone and transport is monopolistic. Now with DA in government hopefully there will be accountability and change.

[@Cherry-pu4mx]

Our voter turnout was the worst we've ever seen and only like 40% of eligible voters even registered to begin

[@ilikevines]

I think this was the best outcome for the country - I think the DA representatives will help bring about effective competent governance and help improve the domestic situation. Hopefully now the energy grid, education and local economy will improve and people will begin living more comfortably.

That was Jacob Zuma…….and I think Thabo Mbeki recommended via his advisors that you should eat garlic and potatoes to fight HIV……….then again…..back in Great Britain….and a friend of mines dad died of the infected blood scandal…he died from AIDS…..so the NHS knowingly infected its own populace…..what a world we live in…..

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717415667 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-.&__...............،،

South Africa needs a new left wing party I hope the next government of South Africa will be a socialist government

[@threesixnine369six]

The best quality of life is when people have a bit of both. Look at Scandinavia. Free market and capitalism but also great tax-funded healthcare, welfare, education, and plenty of rights to protect the people and workers. That’s what South Africa should aspire for. Not extremists who are obsessed with the past and want to bring their own justice at any cost, even if it means ruining entire industrial sectors in the country, and no Chinese-style authoritarianism.

[@annaritafabbri8044]

​@@threesixnine369six, well said. Ideology on its own won't bring jobs that do not exist or put bread on everyone's table if there are no jobs and infrastructures are falling apart. Allow the business community to do their part and also protect workers and poor people with good social laws. Greetings beautiful South Africa.
