African National Congress First Deputy Secretary-General Nomvula Mokonyane has slammed the Democratic Alliance saying it remains her party’s guest in the Government of National Unity .
This comes after the DA Federal Executive Chairperson Helen Zille said her party was not in the GNU but a coalition with other parties including the ANC. Zille’s comments have sparked criticism in the former governing party with the ANC’s Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula saying she can leave the pact if she wishes.Mokonyane says, “We as the ANC are duty bound to nurture this. We can’t be as reckless as Mrs Zille, we can’t be reckless because it is us who invited people.”
“She was a guest and remains a guest of the ANC and if she has any discomfort she is bound to actually express it and it is within her right, but not to undermine the collective majority of political parties that are represented in Parliament because all of them have a mandate. And remember I was with some of you at the ROC we all said we embrace the will of the people.
