DA says no to MKP and EFF in GNU

DEMOCRATIC Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen is against the MK Party and the EFF joining the Government of National Unity (GNU).

Steenhuisen made the remarks on Monday in Johannesburg, as the DA unveiled its proposed changes to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) Act, the Employment Equity Act, and the Expropriation Act - legislation the party has long criticised as problematic.

The DA has opposed several key policies introduced by the African National Congress (ANC), which leads the coalition.

Tensions between the two parties have persisted since the GNU's formation, with the DA at times threatening to withdraw.
