South Africa will find a way to go forward; how can it not? They've been through too much. 🙏🇿🇦🙏

" if the ANC is doing to you what apartheid government did, do unto the ANC what you did with the apartheid government " Nelson Mandela

One thing I am glad for about this new government is that we can be absolutely sure the we are getting a new minister of police. The country is crying for that change.

So happy as a South African to be able to look forward to a bright future. Good luck GNU

Procedure is going very well. For the first time we are seeing real democracy in Parliament also and all are in good spirit. I have high hopes for SA. A new dawn looms. ANC, IFP and DA all good leaders and we are glad things are moving this way. We need to be represented by all in government.

We are happy for the GNU may the God of peace be with our country and all the politicians that want peace and unity in our country please no war but peace and accept the GNU 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Congratulations to all the parties who have worked out a plan work together for the good of the citizens of South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤

The future looks bright. God bless our beautiful country🇿🇦

South Africa will grow from strength to strength now. Now, our people have spoken. Best move the ANC, DA, IFP and PA could have made. No more corruption and improvements will come fast.

They have to figure it out amongst themselves and solve these problems that way we can blame all 3 parties for the next 4 years if things don't change.

Man, I love South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤

Thank you for the great quality of journalism! Great questions with interesting answers - more power to these producers!

The most interesting country I lived in… Time to move back.

Hopefully now there won't be too much corruption

As a democracy. South Africa voted for who they want and as with everything, some would be unhappy.

The problem with those against GNU is power they want to rule and they did not get the majority please accept and move on be good participants as people are watching you they can not continue to vote for aggressive people and disruptive members only those seeking peace IFP will win next election for supporting peace in our country

Ongama, taking a realistic stance. Brilliant. Debatable but brilliant.

Black South Africa, I can’t believe you let this happen

No talk on reduction of ministries now that multiple parties are involved?

As a South African, we are delighted at the Government of National Unity. We will prosper! Let's go South Africa!! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🛐

DA prove people of SA wrong by working peacefully with ANC and IFP as well as NFP and PA wishing you a peaceful leading of our country to great hights🎉🎉🎉❤

When the white man came into Africa the black man extended his hand to him in unity , the rest is History. Ramophosa obiviously has not learned . He is doing what is the best interest of himself not what is in the best interest of the mass of the people of that country . Shame . The ancestors must be crying . Give it 50 years if so long we will see the Folly of this action

Foreign policy a major concern!

Very disappointed in the Anc with the coalition

Ongama is brilliant. Knowledgeable and to the point.

Ramaphosa has sold South Africans down the creek

This man in the centre fell asleep😂😂🙈

Cyril and John they voted for themselves but God will put them down it will never last in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏🇿🇦

ANC only have themselves to blame 1 of the recourse rich countries in the World but somehow they managed to messed that up

It's a ANC - DA coalition not this nonsensical thing of government of unity.

if this combination works. people will support the DA.

Yah! Whenever we talk about how they underdeveloped Africa and the Caribbean, we are angry. Bless up from Jamaica Ms. Mottley. You stand tall about our other so called Caribbean leaders. History will be kind to you!

Why cant all of them form and coalition and win 100% of the vote. Don't they all want the same thing, which is better economy? Politics is funny.

Why cant we as the people not ELE CT our President?

If this coalition is going to bring employment safety and prosperity for my country then I'm fully behind it.

This is a good thing guys.

Imagine having a country where the national bank is individually owned, where over 70% of the economy is in the hands of the apartheid power, that's what Nelson Mandela ended the deal to the so-called independence. South Africa is sick, and until the basic illness is cured, the sufferings will never end

Xo

More like GPU - Government of Pretentious Unity😂🚮

"Government of National Unity"

This GNU is represented by only 58% of the South African voter population. What about the remaining 42%?

DA has to also look into the sewage pouring on the streets of locations in Cape Town, eg Nomzamo please, the place is a menace and the neglect is inhuman 😢😢😢

You do not have a government of national unity if the society is divided by social classes. Social classes are like geologic structures. They are never permanent, always changing. What you have is a government that has become the center ring of a boxing match between the Right and Left through which the social classes express their class interests. For now there may be a lot in common and compatibility between political parties but behind the veil of unity is the hideous and monstrous face of social and economic inequality has to be dealt with before there can be any sense of national unity. Unanimity is impossible in societies of different social classes. None of the governing parties are ever going to get a majority to hold for any long length of time for the simple reason that one formula does not fit for all. The best a government can do is be unanimous about not applying generalizations to every particular difference in habitat, community, tribe or socal order. If one county lacks roads and the other lacks electricity the wrong thing to do is nothing.

ATHI MTHONGANA should have not been invited to this interview. he is on the payroll of the White Minority Establishment

Testing a coalition government for the first. I reckon South Africans should give it a go and see what change they bring. What is surprising, though, is how quickly they reached the agreement to put together deals to form this upcoming government of National Unity.

Party of Nelson Mandela?????

Viva ANC no matter what, things are going to work together the way no body is expecting they are going. Siyanqoba in disguise, everyone is going to enjoy the ride. The driver is M C R sit down and enjoy the ride.

The ANC choosing the DA as its coalition partner is a shortsighted decision to appease markets that will lead to significantly worse outcomes for the majority of our citizens.

IFP has always been a traitor. I wonder lamazulu ayivotelayo athandani kulamaxoki

This wont work long-term... it's only a matter of time.

Best wishes! the world is changing and very fast, now if people wait too long, all will be lost. we have hit the event horizon

The young people is from 18 to 35 years. No 15 year olds are allowed to work in South Africa. Get your facts right

I am proud of us

Pauline Bax please do something about the echo in the room you are in. It's horrible to listen to that and difficult to understand what you are saying.

Anc is pleasing markets for now,the ANC and MK + EFF will come together and amend the constitution so it favours black people ,and it gives black people land .

The question is also what will it mean to the DA

Uyaphapha lo mama who is wearing the yellow dress . Was she not in parliament before she so excited .

I think it’s a good thing for South Africa. I think they’re actually going to be going in a better direction than they have been over the last 30 years. The EFF with Julius Malema at the Helm has served its purpose. It has scared that country into getting its act together. Maybe now they’re parliament sessions won’t look like a junior high classroom where the teacher has lost control of the students. I used to watch their parliament on KZfaq and it was the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life. I found it enormously entertaining because how can you not when so many grown people behave like children? Hopefully, there will be a semblance of order going forward. Never a good idea when one party has too much power.

AfRikAnErDOM hahahahaha Julius is our number 1 comedian hahahaha

It will mean the end of ANC.... Abanye benu bazokhala... meaning some of you will cry... This was a warning...

🖐️ Hello sami sir

Great discussion, from a local. We are very optimistic.

ANC is not the party of Nelson Mandela "John Langalibalele"

Trust in the almighty one 🙏

DA =USA ,ANC =Russia which powerful country will fall

If the ANC joins with Zuma we can bury our beloved country

Given currently there are three major components of DIVERSITY in South Africa dictating the polarities and divergences in political views of governing their nation, is it possible the following conclusion as a political reality of government of any group of human societies?? The three components of DIVERSITY in South Africa are: The 1st group with perspective of addressing the issues of TheWhites, the 2nd group with the perspective to address issues of The Blacks and the third group is the members the group that doesn't identify themselves to the outlook of both sides (The Whites and The Blacks.) Conclusion:- It only takes from 25 to 35 years or maximum of 20 to 40 years for any group (of a nation) to repeat the injustice, bad governance and corruption leading the majority to poverty and its related impacts ( believed to be the driving factor for triggering the the group struggle) after the group triumphantly conquers it's predecessors dubbed to be the causes of their political struggles that brought the change. Meaning, in the case of South Africa, it only took 30 years for ANC to repeat the mistakes and errors that their predecessors (what was called the Apartheid system governance that triggered the evolution of ANC at some point in timeline, T) when we observe what is happening there in South Africa by now (ANC lost trust and legitimacy of it's own constituent members for whom their cause of their political program focused starting from the time when ANC crafted a political party and program to address the interest of the majority of South African societies).

The host frequently interrupts. It's frustrating.

Nothing is going to change

Amul dude ki sarkari jach ki jai

State the facts to support your statement .

Someone was falling asleep

Less corruption

What matters we want peace in our land, lets work together as a rainbow nation ...whats is wrong with that... We are not Gods to judge..we must not leave in fear . Just give them a chance , not fight oneonother

Mandela will be happy this is really the rainbow nation

South Africa slowly going back to white rule

I think the guy in the middle (Lucky) is sleeping.

Lucky is on juju payroll🤣

Maybe I'm wrong...but it seems to me that Cyril's hands have been bound last 5yrs....really hope his next act will be his moment to achieve that which I felt when he stood next to Madiba 30yrs ago !! 🙏

The rest of Africa is shaking it's head in disbelief & anger 🤦. How can Ramaphosa ignore his blood brother's MK & EFF to join hands with a white led post arpathied party DA ? 🤷.

Why would they seek to form a coalition with those who opposed South Africa tanking Israel to the ICJ? I would very concerned about forming a coalition with the heirs colonialist settlers. What will their position be with respect to continuing to fighr for greater equality in South Africa? I'm not sure the DA should be commened for running the cape efficiently. I'm guessing they've essentially always run it and they never had to make significant adjustments where as Sweto and johesnburgh etc has never had the same level of stability and commerce. This speculation on my part and i will respectful correction if im wrong accompanied with reputable and verifiable sources.

is this is good news for Isreal or not.

Suggestion for our GNU......make the upgrading of MK supporters basic needs a priority !! ...along with the obvious other priorities that need addressing !! Don't allow their sails to be filled with wind !! ...it will have the opposite effect and GNU will become stronger !! ....overlook this advice at all of our peril !! 😊🙏....from an old whitey that's lived in Capetown since birth ❤

Jissis, another poor attempt at journalism. Panelist with no insight,

Dont use Nelson Mandelas name when referring to the a n c ,that man is turning in his grave with what has gone on in that party.

da and ifp made an agreement that they will not work with anc but now they want to work with anc. Anc must not work with them

The ANC has sold out big time. Cry my beloved South Africa.

U call this a democracy. We never had this that's y the country tumbled💯

More corruption

Promise by DA not to open Phala Phala docket

Bbbb

ANC= Palestine DA=ISRAEL+UKRAINE

Man has fail.....and still going to

ANC is finished! Wish i could be around for the next election. Ramaphosa is a disgrace!

Nothing is going to change,it’s South Africa which despite trying to look legitimate is still 100% tribal.😢

Calling the IFP Zulu nationalists, whilst ignoring the pure Zulu concoction that is MK. That summary of chouces from Ngama is spot on. A choice between the criminal class who broke the anc and stable centre politics.

In ramaphoosa we trust 🙏 👍👊💯

Lots of word salad as usual

ANC is sharing power with former apartheid oppresors

Looking forward to a certain change of policy, like most South Africans
