New South African Coalition Government Sparks Racial Tensions

South Africa's new coalition government, comprising the ANC and the DA, has reignited racial tensions due to historical apartheid legacies. The partnership between President Cyril Ramaphosa's ANC and the predominantly white-led Democratic Alliance has unsettled many Black South Africans, raising concerns about past oppressions under white minority rule. Critics fear that the coalition may reinforce white economic influence, worsening existing socioeconomic disparities. Despite efforts to present unity, figures like Julius Malema reject the coalition, accusing the DA of prioritizing white interests over societal welfare. The success of the coalition depends on navigating complex racial dynamics while addressing deep-seated post-apartheid inequalities.
