We can't be in the playing ground with no positions - IFP

IFP leader Velenkosini Hlabisa says the party has demands for
positions in the GNU cabinet. But he states that the IFP has
placed that prerogative of the positions' allocation on the
president.

Akukho akucengile kwi GNU all political parties must agree on everything before everything is set especially the founder of the GNU including IFP, ANC and the DA.

[@milindogugu5327]

Secondly the DA nayo "incenge" the deputy pres position, just like how it gained deputy speaker in Parliament. IFP gain leadership in KZN thats just the GNu the ANC nayo "yancenga" the other parties to join in GNU so Cyril is the President.

[@jamesnkosi1497]

I feel like DA is asking too much by asking 11 seats in CABINET but i also feel ANC is giving to little by giving 6 seats only. If you give DA 6 seats that means you can't give ANC more than 12 since the proportion of votes for ANC IS NOT MORE THAN DOUBLE of DA

[@ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ub]

It's all part of negotiating. The DA is no longer asking for 11 seats and is prepared to settle for less than what they're entitled to. The ANC is trying to be tough and get more than what they deserve. We have to wait and see how it pans out.

ANC must accept that some of its ministers need to vacate positions. Zizi Kodwa is number one to be removed from the list. Ramaphosa leadership is cowardice in nature, He must face reality of his close associates being excluded from the cabinet for instance Pravin and Godongwana.
