According to CoinMeta, South Africa's largest political party, the African National Congress (ANC), is considering whether to terminate its national coalition government with its main rival after experiencing its worst electoral performance in history. This dispute has become a major point of contention in the race for President Cyril Ramaphosa's successor. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that some members of the ANC's National Executive Committee are discussing how to present arguments at a meeting on Thursday to prove that the party's cooperation with the Democratic Alliance in 2024 led to a loss of votes in last week's local elections, and therefore, that the cooperation should be terminated. Previously, there were attempts within the ANC to exclude the Democratic Alliance from the coalition government, but these were not successful. It is still unclear how much support this proposal will receive this time. However, readjusting the composition of the so-called National Unity Government could cause concern among investors. The coalition government has been committed to prioritizing economic growth and job creation, while the Democratic Alliance is seen as an important force in pushing for more pro-business policies.
