Political analyst Dr Levy Ndou says its unlikely that the Democratic Alliances (DA) walking away from the African National Congress (ANC)-led Government of Provincial Unity in Gauteng will affect the two parties working relations at national level.
Currently, the DA is part of the Government of National Unity (GNU) with President Cyril Ramaphosa appointing its leader John Steenhuisen the new Minister of Agriculture.
However, in Gauteng, the DA refused to be part of the GPU, after talks between the two parties hit a snag.
After three weeks of intense discussions to form a government of provincial unity in Gauteng, the executive cabinet for the province was announced on Wednesday with the exclusion of the DA.
However, political analyst Levy Ndou says theres no need for panic.The current situation has taught us that the dynamics at national level and provincial level are different. And that is also informed by the performance of the different political parties in those different spheres. I dont see a negative impact on the national level, based on what has happened in Gauteng because Gauteng has its own dynamics as well as a nation.
