Political parties urge Ramaphosa to halt Bella Bill

--:--

The second-largest party in the “Government of National Unity” (GNU) has warned that the future of the co-governing agreement is at risk if President Cyril Ramaphosa signs the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Bill into law this week. The Presidency said that Ramaphosa will sign the BELA Bill into law on Friday, 13 September 2024. In response, Democratic Alliance (DA) leader and Minister of Agriculture, John Steenhuisen said in a statement that the signing of the Bill in its current form will have “destructive implications” for the future of the GNU, as it would be “destroying the good faith on which it was based.” Phemelo speaks to DA Spokesperson, Willie Aucamp, ACDP President, Kenneth Mesheo and ActionSA Chief Whip in Parliament, Lerato Ngobeni.
