Speculation has gone into overdrive as negotiations around the government of national unity continue behind closed doors. The latest development in the ongoing story is that President Cyril Ramaphosa has issued a notice for a joint meeting of the National Assembly and NCOP for the 18th of July, could this be the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. We bring in our analyst, Sanusha Naidu to help us make sense of what could be happening behind closed doors.
I love that social media involvement it show that we as South Africans had enough of close doors talks. And that we have spoken to have a better South Africa
The President is concerned to have John as deputy is because corruption will be very difficult to take place and Cycril is worried all his cadre deployment has to stop
Absolutely correct
👍👍👍
He is corrupt himself 😅😅😅😅😅😅
The big problem we only have politicians yet we don't have leaders
The problem at hand is and in the past 24 years is that we have politicians that wanna lead but not SERVE❕️❕️
@kool2493, Spot on, we saw this coming, we just lack Thought Leadership.
😂struu
The DA wants less than what their quota entitles them to .
The DA is prepared to compromise and is being reasonable.
The ANC is having difficulty in sharing as this is new to them.
Entitled, sounds like KKK vibes. The constitution gives the right to the President only to select the cabinet. KKK is trying to change the rules to suit them.
They are also trying very hard from going to prison🤣🤣🤣
DA wants the whole government 😅they also want justice ministry so that they can arrest all ANC Cadres😅
KKK wanting to Lord it over Black parties.
Somebody is afraid
That would be an excellent gift to humanity 🍾🥂🥂
That would be a great start...😂
DA will never get the portfolios they want ANC are not stupid... Apartheid ended 30 years ago
It boggles the mind what kind of people or leaders we have in this country where things that are supposed to be private and confidential find their way out into the public?.what kind of people are involved we can't have a secret as a nation?.this is worrisome honestly.all the time key discussions find their way into the media including ANC NEC meetings done behind the closed doors things still come out
Corrupt tendencies
Thers a minority white people in the DA. Lots of black, coloured and indian people citizens of this country and no klu klax clan.
The DA is certainly not doing anything for other groups than the whites. I can see that in the Cape Flats. Stupid people of other races vote DA because they are using SWART GEVAAR tactics to scare people. Now the PA is there for them and the DA are trembling in their boots that is why boxes of ballot papers was found in the Western Cape. Their number of votes is not legitimate.
Except in top leadership positions, blacks coloureds and Indians are a minority
Phalaphala must just make a decision now, this waiting game is too much....😂
ANC is stingy.
And can't admit FAILURE
It’s politics not romance please watch movies instead
And genuinely corrupt.The ANC must donate their own posts to the small parties as they are the ones who invited them.
Why do letters need to leaked, where is transparency?
Isn’t that transparency for the people?
You calculate the Cabinet seats in proportion to the total number of seats, mainly for DA. The one party MPs don't get Cabinet, if they do - it's from the ANC proportion as they invited, someone with one seat, hardly have a national Constituency.
The ANC is behaving as though it won elections, no.....the DA helped elect the President.
The IFP, PA, are proportionality 1 Cabinet each, VV - Deputy Minister.
The legendary "House of Cards." Now the same can be said about our country, its democracy from 1994.
Ramaphosa is negotiator, but seems so in 1994 as the ANC was at that time used apartheid as starting point to overruled the National Party. Analysts must get their points straight. It looks like they are all captured or afraid of the ANC.
DA PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 WALK AWAY, LET THEM FACE ANOTHER 5 YEARS OF ANC GOVERNMENT 🎉 JUST SAY GOODBYE RSA 👋 🎉🎉🎉
Corrupt ANC playing dirty tricks.
The DA must stand it's ground and not allow itself to be bullied by the corrupt ANC.
People will still feel the pain of removing the ANC from power😂
Few individuals yes,poor majority will never. Instead according to their wish a new party should have taken over government as of 29 May.
All parties take what you recieve in respect of the current very difficult situation.
Make the very best of it in the coming years.Work hard and honestly and allow the people to decide in the next election.
Taking offense at every turn is the root of immaturity.."Patience is a Virtue"
GNU eliminates the political concept of OPPOSITION..No opposing as the Parliament work together to debate laws and pass instruments to be executed by the Executive..
In a perfect and fully practiced GNU , ALL elected Political Parties enter into a Power -sharing-- arrangements of the Executive proportionate to their elected vote percentage...and this must include all ,not a coalition of few parties.
National unity government, government of national unity (GNU), or national union government is a broad coalition government consisting of all parties (or all major parties) in the legislature, usually formed during a time of war or other national emergency (and indeed unemployment,poverty rates are high)
A unity government according to the principles of consensus democracy lacks opposition( or opposition parties are too small and negligible)
coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a government where political parties enter a power-sharing arrangement of the executive. Coalition governments usually occur when no single party has achieved an absolute majority after an election. A party not having majority is common under proportional representation, but not in nations with majoritarian electoral systems.
There are different forms of coalition governments, minority coalitions and surplus majority coalition governments. A surplus majority coalition government controls more than the absolute majority of seats in parliament necessary to have a majority in the government, whereas minority coalition governments do not hold the majority of legislative seats.
A coalition government might also be created in a time of national difficulty or crisis (for example, during wartime or economic crisis) to give a government the high degree of perceived political legitimacy or collective identity, it can also play a role in diminishing internal political strife.
In such times, parties have formed all-party coalitions (national unity governments, grand coalitions). If a coalition collapses, the Prime Minister and cabinet may be ousted by a vote of no confidence, call snap elections, form a new majority coalition, or continue as a minority government.
The best GNU Can only be achieved when the power for executive positions is eliminated..
THE PROBLEM
Here surfaces the issue of Coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a government where political parties enter a power-sharing arrangement of the executive. This is one of the reasons complete transformation from majoritarian to GNU fails..
Why...because the Political ideology of having a One Party Majority system still lingers.
Only two perfect options to perfect GNU....In considerations of current Constitutional instruments, are
Let All parties be represented in the Executive by their ELECTED Vote percentage. All parties should forward their desired candidature (equaling their percentage in parliament)to the Consulting Council which is represented by all parties.
Secondly and Lastly..
The best medicine to eliminate the hunger for Political Parties power struggle of Cabinet positions is to allow for All Executive positions to be applied for and Vetted by Parliament...No MP 's appointment to Executive possitions...All other inportant positions like of intelligence..police. defence...judiciary..let them be decided for by Parliament...not President..his duty just be to execute what the parliament pass as wholly debated laws and policies that are monitored by parliamet..
GNU
DA accepting the current terms is Political Suicide, may as well walk out here’s a snippet explaining why…
“What this potentially means for ANC coalition partners is starkly illustrated by the prior experience of the Inkatha Freedom Party in national government. After the 1999 election the ANC continued in its coalition with the IFP, giving that party the ministries of Home Affairs, Correctional Services, and Science and Technology.
In all three cases ANC loyalists were inserted as DGs, below these IFP ministers. In the case of Home Affairs, Mbeki appointed one ANC ex-intelligence officer as Mangosuthu Buthelezi’s DG in 1999 and then another in 2003. He also appointed an ANC ex-intelligence officer as DG of DCS in 2001. The effect of this was to allow these two IFP ministers the trappings of office but neutralise them politically by ensuring administrative control of their departments was in ANC hands. This was especially so as the ANC majority in cabinet had the final say over policy, which was binding on those IFP ministers, as well.
This was an expertly executed political version of the German military manoeuvre called the “kesselschlacht” (battle of encirclement) whereby you force your opponent into submission not by a direct assault, but by encircling them and cutting them off from their supply lines, and their avenue of retreat. The ANC destroyed the National Party of FW de Klerk in the first GNU in a similar manner, as described here.
This policy of deploying ANC loyalists to top positions in the state has continued to this day. In an affidavit submitted to court last year in defence of cadre deployment President Ramaphosa stated under oath that the Cadre Deployment Policy “applies to senior positions in government such as Directors-General and Deputy Directors-General”. And he also vehemently defended the right of the ANC to deploy cadres to these and other positions in the state machinery that it controlled.
This means that once they have agreed to serve in cabinet any new DA ministers are going to take over departments whose top ranks are, according to President Ramaphosa himself, staffed with ANC deployees. Directors-General are employed on fixed five-year contracts and in terms of the current regulations, should a vacancy for head of department arise, the selection panel should be made of the minister of that department, two other ministers, and a national head of department. The panel would need to reach consensus on their preferred candidate and cabinet would need to approve the choice before the President made the appointment. When it comes to choosing a new DG for their department, the DA minister could potentially be outnumbered three-to-one by ANC people on the selection panel for the appointment.”
…the deal is poisonous in its current form.
Thought S.A.needed to be rescued?????
ANC is suppose to change everyone's daily life in this country.
Now management ruling last 30 years failed all South Africans.
We need new management. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢??
SA citizens have got right to know what's going on they have voted, social. MEDIA IF RIGHT TO COMMENT, DO YOUR JOB AS A JOURNALIST.
🇿🇦Its a slow developing COUP ‼️🤦🏼♀️
The silence from the closed doors speaks volumes to us the Black South Africans i.e the DA has a hold on the ANC and the ANC is at loss at what they're supposed to do except surrender our freedom.
The ANC is trying to donate DA's posts to small parties🙆🙆🙆
Your topic.is.misleading., as there is no balance
My take on this is that I am disappointed with the DA. This time around I voted for the DA both provincial and national. In the past I spilt my vote between national and provincial depending on where I lived. DA please stop your childish bickering and let's move on.. Otherwise the ANC must engage the EFF. NO MK please. I used to live in that province but left 24 years ago. Lets move on please
In other ciubries the bickering kep on for 6 months. Cyril must be honest with his choices and dont make DA the underdogs carry them on the backs. The lost majority vote and MUST act fairly accordingly. CR THINKS HIS STILL IN CONTROL. Power must be shared percentage wise if you lost CR
@@corneliacoetz243 you got it all wrong mate, the DA is going to loose out on this bickering. Just wait and see.
Dont protect white intrest
Reiger, goedehoop, dromedaris...they are waiting patiently for DA n steenhuizen,Zille ,siviwe kwarube n others,ocean is ready to welcome you ..go back home.
Who do you think built this country to what it was 30 yrs ago.
No difficul things between ANC+DA both they try to follow rules of their Boss from stellenbonch,to blind south african people
DA demand is too much with their 20% that 6positions is enough for them i hope mk can change their mind and join Gnu once
