Gnu Doesn't Depend On Da's Participation: Anc

The African National Congress ANC has stated that the Government of National Unity GNU was never dependent on the participation of the Democratic Alliance DA.

This follows the DA - a member of the GNU - voting against the approval of the budget tabled by the Finance Minister, Enoch Godongwana, on Wednesday.

ANC Chief Whip in Parliament Mdumiseni Ntuli says it is sure that the national leadership of the party will reflect on the decision by the DA to vote against the passing of the Fiscal Framework and Revenue Proposal.

The Government of National Unity has never, from the origins up to now, depended on the present and the participation of the Democratic Alliance. The DA is a member or was a member. I dont know what is going to happen from now on, but the GNU will remain. What will then happen in light of the decision of what happened today Wednesday.

He says, As I said, its commitment that was made by other political parties like the ActionSA, which is not part of the GNU. The ANC is going to reflect on this. Politically, what is the meaning of this?
