MKP’s treason stunt as the DA throws down the foreign policy gauntlet to the ANC

Former President Jacob Zuma's MK party knows that they will not succeed with treason charges laid against Afrikaner lobby groups, but did so to “let the flames of racial divides in this country burn higher”. So says Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Willie Aucamp who is also the national spokesperson for the party. In this interview, he speaks about the need for the DA to persuade the African National Congress (ANC) to change the country’s foreign policy. “…if they want this Government of National Unity to work, they must come into this GNU boots and all and allow their partners to also have their say, our say in things like foreign policy. If you look at clause 19 of the Statement of Intent, it clearly talks about sufficient consensus on all issues. And you cannot isolate foreign affairs and international relations and say sufficient consensus, but not on this…It's not how it's going to work - and the Democratic Alliance will definitely not accept that…from here onwards the ANC will require us and we made it clear to them that they must come with policies that will be to the benefit of this country and its people; otherwise we will not support them.
