The formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU) has reached a significant milestone with eight political parties coming together to form a united front.
This development follows the United Democratic Movement (UDM) announcing its acceptance of the African National Congress (ANC)’s proposal on Friday afternoon.
UDM leader Bantu Holomisa shared a letter sent to ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula, detailing their response to a meeting between Holomisa and the UDM’s Secretary-General and Treasurer.

In the letter dated June 17, the UDM expressed its queries and concerns, which have now been addressed. Holomisa confirmed that these issues would be discussed later by all participants in the GNU, with an agreement to be signed subsequently. The public will be informed later on how the GNU will operate.
With the inclusion of the UDM, the GNU now comprises eight political parties. Apart from the ANC and UDM, the other parties are the Democratic Alliance (DA), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), Patriotic Alliance (PA), Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC), Good Party, and Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus).
This diverse coalition aims to bring together different political ideologies and work collectively for the nation’s benefit.
The next steps involve detailed discussions among the participating parties to finalize the operational framework of the GNU. Once an agreement is reached, it will be signed by all parties, and the public will be informed about the structure and functioning of the GNU. This collaborative effort is expected to foster stability and unity within the political landscape.
