IOL reports that the "National Working Committee (NWC) of the African National Congress (ANC) has recommended the formation of a government of national unity," which would involve cooperation with the Democratic Alliance (DA), Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), and the Patriotic Alliance (PA).
- IOL: "In a related development, a high-level delegation led by ANC Chairperson Gwede Mantashe and Deputy Secretary General Nomvula Mokonyane has been tasked with engaging former president Jacob Zuma and the MK Military Veterans Association (MK Party) regarding their potential involvement in the government of national unity."
- This follows a failure by some ANC factions to force a ANC+DA coalition amid a pushback from several NWC members sceptical of the move. The decision may be announced during the pre-announced press conference, which will get underway at the top of the hour.
