SOUTH AFRICA’S ANC FORMS A UNITY GOVERNMENT

The African National Congress (ANC) has agreed to form a national unity government in South Africa with three other parties, including its main rival, the pro-business Democratic Alliance. The unity government will include the ANC, the DA, the socially conservative Inkatha Freedom Party, and the right-wing Patriotic Alliance. As part of the agreement, the DA will get the post of deputy speaker of the National Assembly. President Cyril Ramaphosa, the ANC leader, is expected to win a new term in office with the support of the other parties. VOA’s Paul Ndiho spoke to Ricky Mukonza, a political analyst and professor at Tshwane University of Technology in South Africa.
