South Africa's IFP party to participate in a government of national unity

The Inkatha Freedom Party in South Africa has agreed to join a proposed government of national unity, aiming to resolve the political deadlock following the recent election where the African National Congress lost its majority. This move increases the likelihood of a coalition government with the ANC before the upcoming Parliament session. The ANC suggested a unity government involving multiple parties, including the Democratic Alliance, the main opposition party. While some parties have declined to participate, the ANC, DA, and IFP combined would hold a majority of seats. Despite objections and legal challenges, the election results have been declared free and fair, allowing the process to move forward.
