THE African National Congress (ANC) and Democratic Alliance (DA) agreed to form South Africa’s first coalition government alongside the Inkatha Freedom Party today.

The coalition, which will be known as the Government of National Unity, paved the way for Cyril Ramaphosa to be elected for a second term as the country’s president.

Many supporters of the ANC still see DA as a racist party trying to make sure that white people hang on to the economic privileges they built up during the apartheid years.
