At a UNITE mass gathering marked by strong words and sharper political contrasts, Minister of Tourism and GOOD Party leader Patricia de Lille publicly appealed to South Africans to vote the current Government of National Unity GNU out of office, despite her own party being part of it.
Her remarks, delivered at a community meeting of the newly formed UNITE alliance, have triggered renewed debate about the state of governance and accountability within the national coalition.
Speaking to residents gathered in Kliptown, Soweto, De Lille addressed the crowd under the UNITE banner, a collaboration between the GOOD Party, Rise Mzansi and Build One South Africa.
