Ramaphosa started by saying that following discussions over the course of the last few weeks, a total of eleven parties have elected to work together in government and in Parliament.

Absent from the list was former President Jacob Zuma’s MK party and Julius Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters although earlier reports had said the ANC was in talks with the two parties.

The President named  the parties that have agreed to be part of the GNU as the African National Congress, Democratic Alliance, Patriotic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, Good Party, Pan Africanist Congress of Azania, Freedom Front Plus, United Democratic Movement, Al Jama-ah, Rise Mzansi and the United Africans Transformation.
