The world calls for inclusion, why would you exclude yourself? Do you prefer enmity?

I am NEVER wrong. I am always correct. Our beloved President Cyril Ramaphosa will lead the Government of National Unity. Believe anything the Zuma Zombies and Iqbal Surve and his goons tell you with a pinch of salt. They never correct and only spread fake news and lies. The President Ramaphosa led Government of National Unity will take South Africa to greatness again.

LEAD US RAMAPHOSA

[Dr Mike Mikia Ramothwala @MikeRamothwala]

President Cyril Ramaphosa is a true student of President Nelson Mandela who even after winning elections decided on a Government of National Unity for the sake of building our country and economy. I personally feel that he will lead this government well and leave a lasting legacy

Any deal that gives control of the legislature to any party that rejects substantive equality as envisaged in s9(2) of the Constitution read with s7(2)- the state’s duty to fulfil human rights’ the preamble committing to healing the divisions of the past and establishing a society based on social justice and human rights where every citizen’s life is improved and everyone’s potential is freed within an Ubuntu anchored shared humanity that includes human solidarity entailed in rights such as social assistance, which includes the Basic Income Grant and the right to education, which includes progressive increase in NSFAS funding and real redistribution of land, will not only fail to deliver shared prosperity but will also be a spit on the Constitution and the people of South Africa who voted for more and not less transformation and a deathknell to the ANC #SADemocracyAt30🇿🇦 #ChooseWisely🇿🇦

GNU first task is to convene CODESSA 3.
SASMEF has been saying since 2014

[Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds @ThuliMadonsela3]

For South Africa’s democracy to survive, it must involve and work for all. Let us applaud President Ramaphosa and the ANC Leadership for proposing a Government of National Unity (GNU) to enable some form of power sharing with all who are committed to give life to our transformative Constitution which enjoins us to unite in our diversity and shared humanity and establish a society based on democratic values, social justice and fundamental human rights where every citizens life is improved and every persons potential is freed #SADemocracyAt30🇿🇦 #ChooseWisely

Roger Jardine for President and Alan Winde for deputy President. There appears to be no other comparable candidates to rescue SouthAfrica.

Playing Ireland in the final, having lost to them in the pool match because of kicks? That is the stars starting to align in a way that South Africans can recognise and quietly enjoy.

The social compact proposed by The President will fail if it excludes the voice of Small Business. Membership to NEDLAC has to be widened. “Addressing the l (Nedlac) summit on Friday, Mashatile said he did not believe there should be a finite list of stakeholders.

The work we do is not for us. It is an investment for future generations. Therefore, we cannot aim low, no matter how daunting the tasks and how big the obstacles. The tasks at hand and those that lie ahead demands that we remain resolute, focused, and intentional.

Sector fixation and picking one sector over another is short sighted and leads to silos and silos thinking.
Best economic outcomes come from the complimentary interplay of sectors.
