Gwarube’s BELA Bill snub shows GNU has already failed: Malema

Home | Gwarube’s BELA Bill snub shows GNU has already failed: Malema Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says the Government of National Unity (GNU) has already failed. His comments come after the newly appointed Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube failed to attend a ceremony at which President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill (BELA Bill) into law. Malema describes the GNU as a marriage of inconvenience between the African National Congress (ANC) and Democratic Alliance (DA).

“It has failed. How can a minister not go to a place where the President is signing a bill? That is bringing Cabinet into disrepute. The President should have fired that Minister there and then because when you are there, you are no longer saving the DA constitution.



You are serving the South African Constitution. This has failed even in practical terms, not in theory. The Bill exposed these people for what they are, a marriage of inconvenience, a DA-led government.

It’s not an ANC-led government.” SABC © 2024.
