Political climate under GNU an opportunity to reimagine what good governance can look like - Mashatile

JOHANNESBURG - Deputy President Paul Mashatile said that the political climate under the Government of National Unity (GNU) gives an opportunity to collectively reimagine what the heritage of good governance in South Africa can look like.

Mashatile delivered the keynote address at government’s Heritage Day commemorations in Ficksburg in the Free State.

This year, the celebrations are being held under the theme of celebrating the lives of our heroes and heroines who laid down their lives for our freedom.

Mashatile reflected on Heritage Day in the context of the GNU.

"The reality of our political climate under the Government of National Unity also gives us an opportunity to collectively reimagine what the heritage of good governance in South Africa can look like. Our ability to look beyond our differences and converge on the shared agenda to bring about inclusive growth, job creation and poverty reduction is one of the examples that the government is showing its commitment to uniting through diversity."
