In a surprise move, South Africa’s political landscape has shifted dramatically as the Democratic Alliance (DA) has announced its support for President Cyril Ramaphosa’s re-election. This unexpected alliance has paved the way for Ramaphosa’s second term, marking a significant turning point in the country’s political history.
The DA’s decision to back Ramaphosa comes after weeks of intense negotiations, culminating in a coalition agreement that promises to bring stability and unity to the country. With the ANC and DA joining forces, they now hold a majority in parliament, ensuring Ramaphosa’s re-election.
This new political era marks a departure from the ANC’s decades-long dominance, as the party lost its majority in the recent elections.
The coalition government, which includes the Inkatha Freedom Party and the Patriotic Alliance, signals a new era of cooperation and collaboration.
