Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa met former president Thabo Mbeki to seek guidance on a way forward after a dismal showing at the polls.<\/p>\n

Insiders privy to the meeting said Ramaphosa met Mbeki on Saturday after it became clear the party would need to enter a coalition. Ramaphosa has had a contentious relationship with Mbeki since he assumed office.<\/p>\n

Mbeki has previously criticised Ramaphosa’s government in public platforms, while in a leaked national executive committee (NEC) recording in 2022, Ramaphosa was heard saying he had not received support from the former statesmen.<\/p>\n

TimesLIVE understands Ramaphosa called on Mbeki to ask that he be part of a body of elders who will guide the party during coalition talks.<\/p>\n

The two statesmen are also said to have discussed former president Jacob Zuma.<\/p>\n

Insiders at Luthuli House said Mbeki had three times requested a meeting with Ramaphosa before the elections.<\/p>\n

They said Mbeki was concerned by Ramaphosa’s attitude towards his request for a meeting. Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said: \u201cThere are many meetings and consultations taking place. I don’t want to comment on any particular single meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thabo Mbeki Foundation spokesperson Siyabulela Gebe refused to comment.<\/p>\n

After 30 years of governing, the ANC was dealt a humbling blow when it lost two of its key provinces, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, and its majority in the country in last week’s elections.<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa and his allies are lobbying the NEC to agree to a coalition with the DA.<\/p>\n

The president and his allies are facing a fierce battle at the NEC meeting on Thursday, with many seemingly not buying into a coalition agreement with the DA. This cohort includes party chair Gwede Mantashe and deputy president Paul Mashatile, insiders said.<\/p>\n

Sunday Times reported this week the ANC had decided the formation of a government of national unity (GNU) should be the first offer to parties willing to go to bed with it.<\/p>\n

The GNU option is perceived as an attempt by the ANC to manage the process of forming a government and avoid the backlash that would come with choosing between the DA and the MK Party and EFF.<\/p>\n

TimesLIVE understands the ANC presented different models to the DA when the two parties met on Monday, one of which was a \u201csupply and confidence agreement\u201d modelled on Canada\u2019s minority government formation.<\/p>\n
