The African National Congress (ANC) announced on Monday, June 18, that a total of five political parties have officially signed a statement of intent to participate in the government of national unity in South Africa. This new coalition government aims to bring together parties with divergent agendas while excluding radical populists. The coalition has also symbolically united a Black president and a white opposition leader, reflecting an image of unity in a country with a history of racial segregation.
