The GNU clearing house mechanism is a platform created by President Cyril Ramaphosa to resolve policy disagreements and disputes within the GNU.

All 10 political parties that are signatories to the GNU – African National Congress, Democratic Alliance, Patriotic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, Good Party, Pan Africanist Congress of Azania, Freedom Front Plus, United Democratic Movement, Al Jama-ah, and Rise Mzansi have been invited. 

The Office of the Deputy President serves as the Secretariat of the GNU clearing house mechanism. 

Issues to be discussed include the clearing house mechanism’s terms of reference and an update on the preparations for the G20 Summit. 

The leaders will also touch on the aspects of the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act (BELA Act), update on the preparations for the National Dialogue, and discuss challenges at the provincial and local government level in relation to coalition governments. 

The mechanism will not override Cabinet decisions, as the Executive remains the final decision-making body in government. However, it will ensure that all GNU signatories develop a common understanding of critical policy matters.

In addition to the mechanism, the Presidency said it was resolved to establish a technical committee to serve as a processing channel for matters of divergence within the GNU.

This means that this mechanism will establish the Political Leaders’ Forum of parties who signed the statement of intent. – SAnews.gov.za

    Husband. \”we\’re from South Africa\”..

    The wife is a little hard of hearing asks her husband.

    \”What did he say?\”

    The husband turns to his wife and says louder \”the cab driver asked us where we were from, I told him South Africa!\”

    The cabbie continues \”I was in the merchant navy years back… I got to drop anchor down your way, a few times in Johannesburg\”

    The husband replies \”oh wow that\’s where we\’re from originally, now we\’re in Cape Town.\”

    The wife asks the husband again \”what did he say?\”.

    The husband again relays the unheard conversation \”the cab driver says he spent some time in the navy and went down to joberg\”.

    The wife smiles and nods.
