In his latest newsletter, President Cyril Ramaphosa highlights the importance of delaying the implementation of the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act to encourage open dialogue and collaboration among the government of national unity parties in South Africa. Since the establishment of the GNU, leaders from various parties have come together to work towards common goals and principles, laying the foundation for a cohesive and effective government.

During the recent meeting of party leaders, it was acknowledged that the GNU has made a promising start, with ministers and deputy ministers across different parties working collectively towards the strategic priorities of inclusive growth, poverty reduction, and state development. Despite differing political ideologies, the leaders aim to find common ground through engagement and discussion on contentious issues.

President Ramaphosa’s decision to delay the implementation of the BELA Bill exemplifies the commitment to fostering transparency and cooperation within the GNU, demonstrating a willingness to address disagreements through dialogue and negotiation. The unity and collaboration displayed by the government leaders bode well for the future success of the GNU in serving the interests of all South Africans.
