President Cyril Ramaphosa is satisfied with the work done by the government of national unity during its first 100 days in office.

The president’s remarks came in spite of several disagreements over issues such as the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act and the implementation of National Health Insurance.

Despite the teething problems, Ramaphosa claimed the GNU is committed to changing the livez of South Africans.
"We're almost 100 days in government and so far the government, much as it has 10 parties, is working extremely well, and has been broadly accepted by the people of South Africa and by the international community as well."
The ANC suffered a significant setback in the 2024 elections, forcing it to form a government of national unity with opposition parties to continue governing.
The May elections saw the ANC fall below 50% for the first time since the advent of democracy.
