Expropriation Law Fallout: Da Declares Dispute Within Gnu

The DA has formally declared a dispute with President Cyril Ramaphosas government over the Expropriation Bill, which they argue is unconstitutional.

President Cyril Ramaphosa officially signed the bill into law on Thursday.

DA leader John Steenhuisen said that his party felt disrespected by the ANC and plans to invoke clauses in the GNU statement of intent to reset relations among the participating parties.

Whether the ANC likes it or not, the stability of this government as well as the security of the presidents own position depends entirely on a relationship between the two largest parties to the Government of National Unity.

In keeping with our mature approach to coalition government, the Democratic Alliance is, therefore, urgently seeking to pursue a reset in this relationship, Steenhuisen said during a media briefing on Saturday.
