DA resists Attempts by an ANC faction to Remove Minister Gwarube

The DA defends Minister Gwarube, rejecting ANC-led attempts to fire her over fulfilling legal duties, stressing commitment to rule of law and the GNU's integrity.

Minister Siviwe Gwarube

The Democratic Alliance (DA) opposes any efforts by an ANC faction to pressure the president into firing Minister Siviwe Gwarube or any DA minister for simply doing their duties. Such a move would mark the end of the Government of National Unity (GNU).



This comes amidst misinformation regarding the consultation process following the president's signing of the BELA Act nearly three months ago. While clauses 4 and 5 were withheld to allow more discussions with stakeholders, these consultations remain ongoing within the GNU’s clearing house mechanism.



During this time, Minister Gwarube met with Solidarity and representatives from the Presidency at NEDLAC after the union lodged a dispute. This engagement, separate from the broader consultation process, aimed to prevent strike action as required by law. The outcome was a settlement signed by the Minister of Basic Education, the Presidency, and the Union.



It is both disappointing and confusing that the Presidency now distances itself from this lawful process, despite being actively involved.


John Steenhuisen, DA leader, emphasized:“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.”

The DA remains committed to bringing positive change through inclusive economic growth and job creation. Guided by South Africa’s Constitution and the rule of law, the DA will not tolerate any actions that undermine these principles.
