Another GNU contention

It must be a joint initiative, says federal council leader.

There seem to be more cracks than harmony in the government of national unity (GNU), with DA federal council chair Helen Zille attacking the ANC for acting unilaterally again yesterday.

Zille was reacting to the announcement that the national dialogue would be held in December without consulting other political parties in the GNU.

The issue is set to be another bone of contention in the ongoing tension between the two major players in the GNU.

The parties also disagreed on foreign policy issues.

Yesterday, the deputy president and acting president Paul Mashatile announced during a meeting with the parties of the GNU at Tuynhuis in Cape Town that the dialogue would be held on 16 December.

In a post on social media platform X yesterday, Zille expressed disapproval that the ANC was moving ahead with the dialogue, saying it should be a joint initiative instead.

She tweeted: "We made it clear, from the start of the GNU negotiations, that the national dialogue must be a joint initiative, planned and executed by the key GNU governance partners.

"But here goes the ANC, unilaterally as usual, as if they won the election."
