In a televised broadcast on Sunday night, Ramaphosa announced the several political parties that had signed an agreement to form a Government of National Unity, as the African National Congress (ANC) did not gain the majority of votes for the first time in 30 years in the country’s May elections.
Ramaphosa said, “To give effect to this mandate, it was agreed that a government of National Unity, which brings together parties from across the political spectrum, should be formed. This Government of National Unity would be bound by fundamental principles, and would undertake a basic minimum of programmes of priorities that affect the lives of the people of South Africa.
