IFP Open to National Unity Government

The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) in South Africa expresses openness to a government of national unity after the African National Congress (ANC) proposed collaboration following a loss of majority in the recent election. The IFP emphasizes that details of such a government are still to be discussed.

South Africa's Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) said on Friday that it was not averse to a government of national unity (GNU), after the African National Congress proposed a broad collaboration with other parties after losing its majority in last week's election.

"In principle, the IFP is not averse to a GNU. However, the devil is in the details, which will become clearer in the coming days," the IFP said in a statement.
