South Africa’s Second-Biggest Party Rules Out Coalition Exit

The leader of South Africa’s Democratic Alliance said his party remains committed to being part of the nation’s coalition government despite ongoing wrangling over key policies and legislation, and has no intention of walking away.

“We’re not going to leave the government of national unity,” and that view is shared by the DA’s entire top leadership, John Steenhuisen said in an interview in Bloomberg’s Johannesburg offices on Friday. “I think it can survive and I think it should survive.”
