The Coalface with Martin Creamer, Publishing Editor of Engineering News and Mining

Today marks two years since the executive members of South Africa's Government of National Unity took the oath of office at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, in a ceremony presided over by former Chief Justice Raymond Zondo. The GNU was formed after the 2024 general elections, when no political party secured an outright majority, ushering in a new era of coalition governance. Political analysts say the GNU has delivered mixed results, but remains one of the most significant shifts in South Africa's democratic history.  Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Zwelinzima Ndevu Director of the School of Public Leadership at Stellenbosch University.
