South Africa’s Government of National Unity: Power Sharing in a Fractured Democracy
In this article, Nico Steytler discusses the implications of South Africa's 2024 elections, which saw the ANC lose its parliamentary majority for the first time in 30 years and the formation of a Government of National Unity (GNU). Steytler examines whether this shift will strengthen democracy and federalism or deepen existing divisions, as the nation grapples with entrenched inequality and the challenges of collaborative governance.
