The Spin

Narrative A

This unlikely coalition was the best possible outcome for South Africa. By moving beyond divisive party politics, the government of national unity will bring previously politically and racially divided parties together to better tackle the country's issues. It will also attract more international investment and economic stability.

Washington Post

Narrative B

There's no such thing as a government of national unity in South Africa, but rather a return to apartheid and colonialism as the sellout ANC-DA coalition has been agreed to serve the interests of big business and the markets — not those of the people. Progressive and patriotic forces in the country must join efforts to protect the nation.
