The GNU and the compromise on the National Democratic Revolution

The article from MSN discusses the formation of South Africa's Government of National Unity (GNU) and its implications for the African National Congress's (ANC) National Democratic Revolution (NDR). The GNU, which includes the ANC, Democratic Alliance (DA), and other parties, represents a significant political compromise. The ANC, traditionally committed to the NDR, which aims for a socialist transformation of society, has had to adjust its approach due to its reduced electoral support. This has led to a dilution of the NDR's goals, as the GNU's formation necessitates cooperation with parties like the DA, which has different ideological leanings. The article highlights the tension between maintaining revolutionary ideals and the practicalities of governance, suggesting that the ANC's participation in the GNU might signal a shift towards more pragmatic and less ideologically driven policies. This compromise is seen as both a strategic move to retain power and a potential dilution of the ANC's long-term vision for South Africa.
