Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has said the formation of the second Government of National Unity (GNU) is a significant development in South Africa\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s first GNU was established in 1994 to promote nation-building and inclusivity from a racially divided past during a period of political transition following the end of apartheid.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Monday, 24 June, Ramaphosa said the GNU should drive a programme that improves the lives of all South Africa\u2019s people rather than focus on who gets which ministerial position among the parties. He said:<\/p>\n

South Africans made clear with their votes in last month\u2019s elections that they want their elected representatives to put aside narrow interests and work together to build the country.<\/p>\n

To do so, the GNU cannot be preoccupied with jockeying for positions, tussles over appointments or squabbles within and between parties.<\/p>\n

The success of the GNU will be measured by the extent to which we are prepared to focus not on who will govern, but on how we will govern, together.<\/p>\n

The parties that have signed to join the ANC-led GNU are the Democratic Alliance (DA), the Patriotic Alliance (PA),<\/p>\n

Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), GOOD, Pan Africanist, Congress of Azania (PAC), Vryheidsfront Plus (FF+),<\/p>\n

United Democratic Movement (UDM), Rise Mzansi, and Al Jama-ah.<\/p>\n
