Parties that form part of the government of national unity (GNU) have welcomed President Cyril Ramaphosa’s appointment of his executive on Sunday evening, while the EFF said its decision not to join has been vindicated and vowed to “undermine the backward policy advancements of the ANC-DA grand coalition at all levels of government and on the picket lines”.

“Our collective responsibility as revolutionaries remains to fight for economic freedom in our lifetime, and report to the masses of our people that the former liberation movement has betrayed its historical mission, and morphed into a weapon of racism,” reads the EFF’s statement.

“Let us build a strong, principled and revolutionary alternative towards true liberation. It’s no retreat, no surrender as we confront racists and their lapdogs!”
