But new grouping must not let different ideologies stall the process, they warn.
What exactly should the newly formed government of national unity (GNU) make its priority?
With the Cabinet lekgotla set to take place this week, many South Africans are optimistic.
They are hoping that breadand-butter issues will be discussed at the top-level meeting.
Meanwhile, experts believe that service delivery will top the agenda as the GNU marks the start of its first 100 days in political office.
The two-day lekgotla will kick off on Thursday and chart the way forward for the GNU.
However, analysts say ideological differences should be put aside as they could stall the process. They add that everyone should put their shoulders to the wheel to address the ills plaguing the country.
These include current stagnant economic growth, high unemployment, widespread poverty and the energy crisis.
Independent political analyst Goodenough Mashego said the commitments by former opposition ministers gave hope about the unity of purpose in the GNU.
Political economy analyst Daniel Silke said it was vital that the ministers had a grip on their new portfolios before taking on their roles.
The analysts agree that an over-emphasis on ideological differences could prevent the Cabinet from finding common ground.
