Unprecedented coalition talks were set to start to find a way forward for Africa’s most advanced economy. The ANC was the party of Nelson Mandela and freed South Africa from the apartheid system of white minority rule in 1994. South Africa is a leading voice for its continent and the developing world on the global stage and is due to take over the presidency of the Group of 20 rich and developing nations late this year. “Everyone is looking to see if South Africa can weather the storm and come out the other side,” political analyst Oscar van Heerden said on the eNCA news network. The DA has long said it will not work with the EFF and MK, calling them a “doomsday coalition” for South Africa.
