MBABANE:Fikile Mbalula, the Secretary General of the African National Congress(ANC) told the Democratic Alliance (DA) that its exit from the Government of National Unity (GNU) will not cause any harm, IOL reported this week.
Addressing a press conference at Luthuli House on Tuesday, Mbalula indicated that policies such as the Expropriation Act, NHI, and BELA Act will not be scrapped in exchange for support of the budget, he said it was up to the DA to decide if they leave the GNU or stay.
This comes after the DA ministers refused to vote for the budget in Parliament but, Mbalula made it clear that the DA would be replaced if they exited the GNU.
“If the DA walks, they will be replaced by those who want to participate in the GNU. If the DA does not want to walk, they will have to explain why they are not walking because everything suggests that they are prepared to leave,” he said.
