Can South Africas government of national unity really work?
Today South Africa\u2019s cabinet ministers will be sworn-in at a ceremony in the country\u2019s capital, Pretoria.\n \nThey are from various political parties and form part of President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s government of national unity.\n \nMany of them have, in the past, taken each other to court over policy differences.\n \nBut they now have to work together as a team, in the same cabinet.\n \nThese political events were triggered by the outcome of the May 2024 national election, where no party secured an outright majority.\n \nSo, can South Africa\u2019s politicians park their ideological differences aside and pull together to set their nation on a path towards prosperity?
