THE first Government of National Unity Cabinet Lekgotla is being held over the weekend at the Sefako Makgatho Presidential Guest House in Tshwane.

President Cyril Ramaphosa and Deputy President Paul Mashatile presided over the meeting, joined by leaders from all three levels of government, including ministers, premiers, directors-general, and representatives from the South African Local Government Association.

President Ramaphosa said policy positions were clear, as set out in various manifestos, in order to give effect to the key priorities of what South Africans expect.

“So all that is going to be synchronised, properly set out, and when we open the government, we will be setting out the real programme of this government of national unity,” he said.

The lekgotla set out the programme of action the government is intended to take during the seventh administration.
