The leader of South Africa’s Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), Velenkosini Hlabisa, announced that the IFP has agreed to join a unity government with the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA).
This decision comes after the ANC lost its majority in recent elections, receiving only 40% of the vote.
The new government aims to create stability and address the country’s challenges, despite differing policies between the parties.
The IFP assures its supporters it won’t lose its identity in this coalition. This marks the first official sign of a unity government, though the ANC and DA have not yet commented.
The new parliament will be sworn in soon, with hopes of electing Cyril Ramaphosa as president.
The BBC reported on this development.
