Описание: LIVE | South Africa: Ramaphosa "Won't Step Down" As Coalition Talks Kick Off | Firstpost Africa

Welcome to Firstpost Africa with Alyson Le Grange.
We are live from Durban, South Africa.

A bruising election for the African National Congress has pushed South Africa to a coalition era for the first time in 30 years. Despite the ANC being rejected by over half the country, President Cyril Ramaphosa will not step down. In a speech after the election result, President Ramaphosa called on political parties to overcome their differences and find common ground to form the first national coalition government. The final tally gave the African National Congress (ANC) 159 seats in the 400-seat national assembly. ANC says it hopes to achieve a coalition deal as fast as possible. The Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen repeated his pledge to work with the ANC. Meanwhile, Zuma supporters say they won't join a coalition unless there is an agreement to pardon the graft-tainted former president for a 2021 conviction that saw him banned as a parliamentary candidate.
