Gnu Parties Prepare Ahead Of Wednesdays Cabinet Lekgotla

Several parties in the Government of National Unity GNU will hold their preparatory talks ahead of next Wednesdays much anticipated Cabinet Lekgotla, the first one of the year.

The African National Congress ANC will start its National Executive Committee NEC Lekgotla today while the Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania PAC NEC Lekgotla enters its second day this morning.

The Democratic Alliance DA will hold a media briefing later today where party leader John Steenhuisen is expected to outline the next step in response to President Cyril Ramaphosas signing of the Expropriation Act.

Speaking to the SABC on the sidelines of their three day NEC gathering, PAC Secretary General Apa Pooe says their input to the Government Lekgotla will, among others, include coming up with alternative policies to the countrys land question.

We will definitely come with an alternative policy program so that we can go present to government through the Minister, who is also the PAC President. He will be reflecting what the PAC expectation is and what we are putting forward as a policy alternative. One of the major things that we are looking into, is how do we make sure that we fast track the land restoration and we know that there has been a challenge around compensation.
