South African (SA) President Cyril Ramaphosa has described the Government of National Unity (GNU) as united and strong following a just-concluded two-day GNU leaders retreat held at the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng province.
The meeting saw the leaders of the 10 political parties which form the GNU, reflect on progress in the implementation of the priorities identified in the GNU Statement of Intent.
They also discussed critical issues facing the country such as youth unemployment, hunger, corruption and the economy. The President says that they spoke about illegal immigrants that are in the country and about the economy on how it can be turbocharged.
PAC Leader Mzwanele Nyhontso is amongst the leaders that have given a positive review of the meeting of GNU leaders.
“Remember, some of us came to government for the first time and now we’ve come face to face with issues really affecting our people. So, this session was really, I mean, for me, it was really healing and a session that really gave me an opportunity to reflect on some of the issues that we can talk about maybe outside and so on. So, it is indeed a session that one was looking forward to, and we reflected well on what we’ve been doing for the past 16 months and also had a very clear way forward.”
