GNU proving parties can work together to stabilise SA: Gwarube

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube says the Government of National Unity (GNU) is proving that political parties can work together to stabilise the country, grow the economy and create jobs.

She was speaking during the State of the Nation Address debate under way in Parliament.

Gwarube says the Democratic Alliance’s decision to enter the unity government reflects its core values. She insists the focus remains on putting people first.

“The GNU is demonstrating that it is possible to work across political lines to stabilise the country, to grow the economy, and to create jobs. It is possible to place people at the heart of what we do. It is possible to commit ourselves to serving those who have waited way too long for change. And for the DA, the moment of entering the GNU was not a departure from our values, but an expression of them.”
