South Africa's new coalition government, comprising parties with diverse agendas, excludes radical populists. The ANC leads the Government of National Unity, with additional parties like Rise Mzansi and Al Jama-ah joining. The coalition aims to unite Black and white leaders in a country once marred by racial segregation, despite differing views on issues like Israel. The ANC faces challenges in working with partners holding contrasting stances on certain matters.
