For the first time in 30 years, South Africa has formed a unity government. Following the recent election where the ruling African National Congress won only 40% of the votes, they engaged in two weeks of negotiations with other parties. The ANC and the white-led opposition Democratic Alliance decided to collaborate, marking a new milestone since the end of apartheid in 1994. President Ramaphosa was reelected with 283 votes, surpassing his far-left opponent with 44 votes. The new government faces political differences, with ANC pursuing black economic empowerment laws and left-wing factions wanting to work with a splinter extreme left party to reclaim land from white hands. Despite this, South African citizens are hopeful for positive change and job opportunities with increased cooperation.
