Can South Africa’s government of national unity really work?
Manage episode 426674438 series 2859950
Today South Africa’s cabinet ministers will be sworn-in at a ceremony in the country’s capital, Pretoria. They are from various political parties and form part of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s government of national unity. Many of them have, in the past, taken each other to court over policy differences. But they now have to work together as a team, in the same cabinet. These political events were triggered by the outcome of the May 2024 national election, where no party secured an outright majority. So, can South Africa’s politicians park their ideological differences aside and pull together to set their nation on a path towards prosperity?
