South Africa has formed a groundbreaking coalition government comprising eleven political parties after a landmark election on May 29, 2021. The Government of National Unity (GNU) exemplifies unity, diversity, and collective responsibility, with a mandate to combat poverty and inequality, establish a more equitable society, and prioritize rapid, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth. The appointed executives represent the nation’s diversity and are not there to serve a specific constituency, party, or societal section, reflecting the country’s democratic ambitions. The coalition plans to organize a National Dialogue to work collaboratively to tackle the nation’s critical challenges.
