South Africa’s current Political Reality: The Government of National Unity (GNU) Today
Join us for an insightful discussion on the current state of South African politics!
Since the historic election of April 1994, when the African National Congress (ANC) rose to power under Nelson Mandela’s charismatic leadership, much has changed. In the recent May 2024 election, the ANC did not secure a majority for the first time. This led to the leaders of the ANC and the Democratic Alliance (DA) choosing a groundbreaking power-sharing agreement. By forming the Government of National Unity (GNU), the leaders hoped it would provide a more flexible form of governance than a formal coalition and allow for independent political identities.
In an informal, armchair-style conversation, our speakers will delve into how this unique political arrangement is shaping the nation’s future, giving you a deeper understanding of South Africa’s evolving political landscape.
