South Africa’s Democratic Alliance (DA) has hit back at reports suggesting that Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube could lose her job amid growing tensions over the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Act.
On Sunday, newspaper reports suggested that President Cyril Ramaphosa is under intense pressure from within his African National Congress (ANC) to fire Gwarube who – in accordance with her party position – is openly opposed to the implementation of the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Act.
In a statement, DA leader John Steenhuisen insisted that firing Gwarube or any other DA minister “for doing their jobs” would not be tolerated. He said:
<blockquote>
Doing so would signal an end to the Government of National Unity (GNU).
</blockquote>
Steenhuisen also addressed misinformation surrounding the consultation process, which has been ongoing since Ramaphosa signed the BELA Act into law nearly three months ago. He said:
<blockquote>
These consultations are ongoing through the clearing house mechanism within the GNU. During this time, the minister has met with members from Solidarity, and the Presidency, at NEDLAC (National Economic Development and Labour Council) after a dispute was lodged by the union.
This process is entirely separate from the consultation process, and conflating the two is misleading, and factually incorrect. This was a mandatory process, in terms of the law, to prevent strike action arising out of the dispute. The outcome of this engagement was a settlement, signed by the Minister of Basic Education, the Presidency, and the union.
The fact that the Presidency has now distanced itself from this legislated process, which they were party to, is as disgraceful, as it is confusing.
As leader of the DA, I would like to make this point loud and clear. We support the process followed by the minister, as she was fulfilling her legally obligated responsibilities, and respect the outcome of the negotiations at NEDLAC.
We have been clear since the outset. We are in government to bring about positive change, including inclusive economic growth, and jobs, and at all times we are guided by the rule of law and the Constitution of South Africa. Anything to the contrary will not be tolerated.
</blockquote>
Although the Act was passed by Parliament on October 26, 2023, and assented to in September, the implementation of sections 4 and 5 has been delayed for three months to facilitate multi-party discussions and the development of proposals aimed at resolving the ongoing disputes.
Clause 4 gives the Basic Education Department the authority to instruct schools to enrol more pupils if there is a surplus in some schools. This aims to address imbalances in school admissions.
This clause allows provincial departments to amend schools’ mother-tongue education policies only if the community around the school does not speak that language. This is intended to ensure that language policies are more inclusive and reflective of the local community.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) opposes Clauses 4 and 5 of the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Act for several reasons.
The DA believes these clauses give the state too much control over school admissions, potentially undermining the autonomy of School Governing Bodies (SGBs) and leading to a loss of local decision-making power.
Clause 5, which allows provincial departments to amend schools’ mother-tongue education policies, is seen by the DA as a threat to the preservation of mother-tongue education. They argue that this could lead to the marginalisation of certain languages and cultures.
The DA, along with other stakeholders like trade union Solidarity and NEDLAC, has called for these clauses to be excluded from the BELA Act to maintain peace and stability in schools.

The DA warned President Ramaphosa not to fire Minister Gwarube for opposing a law. The law is causing tension in education. The DA supports the minister's actions and negotiations. The law allows the government to control school admissions and language policies. The DA thinks this takes away power from schools. They want the controversial parts of the law removed to keep peace in schools. The President must follow the rule of law and the Constitution.

DA Warns Ramaphosa That Firing Siviwe Gwarube Would Break GNU

A recent poll by the Institute for Race Relations (IRR) reveals that political parties within South Africa’s Government of National Unity (GNU) have seen increased support since the general election on May 29, 2024, reported <a href="https://www.news24.com/citypress/politics/gnu-partners-thrive-as-da-and-anc-gain-support-eff-mkp-decline-new-poll-shows-20241112">City Press</a>.
Partners such as the ANC, DA, IFP, Patriotic Alliance, and Freedom Front Plus have all experienced growth in support, according to the poll.
In contrast, opposition parties like Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) and Julius Malema’s EFF have seen a decline in support. The MKP dropped from 15% to 12%, and the EFF from 10% to 7%.
The IRR poll was conducted in September and October 2024, via telephone with 604 registered, demographically representative voters. The margin of error is 5%.
A majority of 52% of respondents expressed a preference for a GNU with the DA and IFP as the ANC’s main partners. Only 27% preferred a coalition with MKP and the EFF.
Two-thirds (66%) of respondents believe that the GNU will complete its full five-year term, lasting until the next general election in 2029.
A large majority (83%) of respondents prioritized job creation over further distribution of social grants. This aligns with the ANC’s election campaign, which focused on income grants.
53% of respondents agreed that appointments should be based on merit, with special training for previously disadvantaged groups.
A smaller proportion (23%) felt appointments should be strictly merit-based, while 20% supported prioritizing black people in appointments.
According to Hermann Pretorius, head of strategic communications at the IRR, the growth in support for GNU partners reflects a cautiously optimistic voter sentiment toward the coalition government. He said:
<blockquote>
Before the elections, the DA was afraid that a quarter of its voters would leave if they worked with the ANC, but this poll shows that this quarter of DA voters is willing to give cooperation with the ANC a chance. ANC voters also give their party the benefit of the doubt regarding the GNU.
</blockquote>
Pretorius suggests that the growth in support for smaller parties within the Government of National Unity (GNU) indicates that being seen as a “constructive political player” is key to sustainable political relevance.
He warns that polling data on job creation and Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) sends a clear message to the ANC: it must focus on pragmatic, bread-and-butter issues.
He believes the ANC could regain voter support by returning to its more pragmatic policies of the late 1990s and early 2000s when it prioritised economic growth and job creation.
Pretorius attributes the EFF’s decline in support to Jacob Zuma’s return to politics, which has overshadowed Julius Malema’s image as the champion of the oppressed.
He also criticizes Malema’s decision to dismiss top EFF officials over a public relations failure, including their inability to fill buses for the EFF’s birthday event in Soweto.
Pretorius blames the decline in support for Jacob Zuma’s MKP on the party’s erratic leadership changes, particularly the appointment and dismissal of leaders under Zuma’s influence.
However, he notes that the party is starting to build its structures, though Zuma’s personal influence remains a significant factor in its support.

A recent poll shows that South Africa's Government of National Unity (GNU) partners, like the ANC and DA, are getting more support, while opposition parties like EFF and MKP are losing popularity. Most people want a GNU with DA and IFP as the main partners. People care more about job creation than social grants. The ANC could get more support by focusing on creating jobs and economic growth. The EFF's support is dropping because of Jacob Zuma's return to politics. MKP is losing support because of leadership issues. Overall, people want parties that focus on important issues and work together.
