In a fiery exchange, President Cyril Ramaphosa has accused the Democratic Alliance (DA) of attempting to establish a 'parallel government' in South Africa. The ongoing negotiations for the government of national unity hit a deadlock over the weekend, leading to intensified tensions between the ANC and DA. Despite the challenges, both parties remain committed to finding common ground.

President Ramaphosa is set to meet with DA leader John Steenhuisen to address the impasse. The DA's Federal Executive has reaffirmed its dedication to the cabinet negotiations, signaling a continued effort towards cooperation. However, Ramaphosa has emphasized that the ANC is exploring alternative options to ensure a functioning Government.

The political landscape in South Africa remains turbulent as the ANC and DA navigate the complexities of power-sharing. President Cyril Ramaphosa's strong stance against the DA highlights the underlying tensions within the coalition. The upcoming meeting between Ramaphosa and Steenhuisen is anticipated to be a critical turning point in the negotiations.

In a surprising twist, South African markets are closely monitoring the developments in the government of national unity discussions. The outcome of the talks between Ramaphosa and Steenhuisen could have significant implications on the economic and political stability of the country. The future of the coalition partnership between the ANC and DA hangs in the balance as both parties strive to find a resolution.
