He said South Africans had been tricked into believing the ANC-DA pact would appease the markets.

During the briefing, Zuma again rubbished the government of national unity.

"There is nothing. They were just misleading one another to think it’s a good thing. Other people even thought they could be together with the DA because they must put out this word 'government of national unity.'"
