\u201cFor the first time in the 400 years\u2019 history of South Africa, our country does not have one single political block that forces its views on the rest of society\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Dr Frans Cronje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of all South African voters were happy with the initial formation of the GNU<\/a> (government of national unity). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it is safe to say that neither the ANC nor the DA’s first choice was to enter into the GNU agreement. We have public statements that confirm this idea. I am pretty sure that each of them would have much preferred to have the majority vote so that they could govern South Africa on their own. But this privilege, the South African voter, did not give them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
