Yes of course because the statement on intent was a foundation that was laid to take us over the journey of five years so that\u2019s what we are planning to work together for the next coming years until we end the term successfully, if there are challenges we will deal with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The GNU currently accounts for about 70 percent of the National Assembly however the ANC said that still has the door open for other parties to join.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
