The Government of National Unity (GNU) that is going to be a product of rigged elections was hatched in USA and Britain. For natives, the problem with a GNU created by white supremacists is that it is going to produce a calibrated version of 1994.
It has taken most natives an average of 30 years to realize that the rainbow nation of 1994 that had Nelson Mandela as the poster boy was a scam designed to reinforce white supremacy. A GNU in its wording, phraseology, and connotation sparks feelings and thoughts of hope in the minds of the oppressed. It presents itself as a new chapter backed by unity of purpose. When that happens, the oppressed become more receptive and less suspicious.
In essence, a foreign funded GNU gives the oppressor free reign to entrench all anti-black people mechanisms. The GNU becomes the bedrock of inequality as is the case now where this highly advertised unity has got South Africa as the most unequal country in the world. The colonisers have always identified Cyril Ramaphosa as the reincarnation of Mandela. Through the planned GNU, Ramaphosa will have the Order of Chief Pacifier in a new South Africa bestowed upon him. Many political parties, some who pretend to represent the poor, are being lobbied and incentivized to subscribe to this New Deal.

Natives must understand that this backdoor Government of National Unity is going to give colonisers another 30 years of unfettered control over all sectors of the economy. It will not improve the life chances of natives. Most importantly, the GNU is not going to be based on people’s voting choices, some of them violated through alleged rigging, but rather is based on the falsified identity of a South Africa than yearns for unity outside the scope of electoral outcomes.
It is not an act of natural evolution that the Democratic Alliance (DA) with 20% +/- of the vote is at the centre of the proposed GNU. The DA represents white supremacy, and is the ultimate political vehicle used to give credence and legitimacy to the planned GNU. This is why the DA was awarded miraculously high votes in majority black areas like Soweto, Diepsloot, etc. This was done on purpose for use as evidence that black people “want the DA in government”.
The mainstream media is already framing the rigged electoral outcome as a plea for political parties to put their differences aside and forge a Government of National Unity. They know very well that in a level playing field, the DA does not have power to influence the formation of GNU. They choose to mislead, misinform , and co-opt natives by influencing, reinforcing, and changing their attitudes to be more white supremacist friendly. The underlying theme from the period 1652 to 1910 , 1910 to 1994, 1994 to 2024, and 2024 going forward is white supremacy.

It is not an accident of history that during the 2024 general elections campaign period, the neoliberal Thabo Mbeki was already talking about the need for a National Dialogue after the elections. Why would a dialogue be required after elections? If elections alone don’t fix the wrongs, why not substitute with a national dialogue? They could not do that because they needed your electoral participation to legitimize the already customised coalition and Government of National Unity outcome. The unexpected performance of MK Party interfered with the original plan, hence, when they realized their whole plan was disintegrating, they had to employ a political system shutdown.
Natives must sooner rather than later grant themselves space to understand the war that President Zuma is fighting.
Natives must also understand that one of the biggest winners of any Government of National Unity that has got the DA central to it is the British owned Cape Independence Advocacy Group. You must prepare for acceleration of laws that will usher in referendum vote designed to grant Western Cape autonomy, within and outside South Africa.
Cyril Ramaphosa already kickstarted that process by signing into law the Electoral Commission Amendment Act of 2024. There is a clause that would grant the Minister of Home Affairs powers to establish an electoral reform consultation panel which will make recommendations on electoral reforms at both provincial and national legislatures. For that reason alone, the Government of National Unity which is most likely to proceed unless natives do what they are ought to do. You must pay attention to who becomes the Minister of Home Affairs, and who chairs the portfolio Committee in Parliament.
Vuka muntu onsundu!
