Gwede Mantashe Says No Political Party Can Collapse the Government of National Unity

The article from Briefly.co.za discusses the political landscape in South Africa following the 2024 elections, where the African National Congress (ANC) failed to secure a majority, leading to the formation of a Government of National Unity (GNU). ANC's Gwede Mantashe has expressed concerns about the stability of this GNU, particularly highlighting the potential for smaller parties to collapse the government due to their significant influence despite their size. Mantashe pointed out the challenges of managing a coalition where parties like the Democratic Alliance (DA), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), Patriotic Alliance (PA), and Freedom Front Plus (FF+) hold considerable sway. He emphasized the need for a stable government to ensure effective governance and service delivery, cautioning against the pitfalls of coalition politics where smaller parties might leverage their positions for disproportionate gains. Mantashe's comments reflect broader anxieties about the sustainability and functionality of the GNU in South Africa's evolving political environment.
