Zille Warns Ramaphosa: Removing DA Ministers Over Budget Vote Will Collapse GNU

DA Federal Council Chairperson Helen Zille has issued a stark warning to President Cyril Ramaphosa, stating that any attempt to remove DA ministers from the executive for voting against the national budget would lead to the collapse of the Government of National Unity (GNU). The ultimatum comes amid growing tensions within the coalition government.

The confrontation stems from last week’s parliamentary vote, where DA members rejected the budget, citing concerns over financial mismanagement and lack of transparency in key departments. This move reportedly angered ANC figures who argue it violates the principle of Cabinet collective responsibility.

“Should President Ramaphosa bow to ANC pressure and remove DA ministers, it would constitute political suicide and breach the GNU’s founding agreements,” Zille declared at a Friday media briefing. “We didn’t join this unity government to rubber-stamp ANC decisions, but to advance shared values of accountability.”

The DA leader emphasized her party’s unwavering stance on governance principles: “We’ve been clear from the outset – we cannot support budgets that waste public money or enable corruption. Our ministers were elected to uphold these standards.”

ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri countered that Cabinet discipline remains non-negotiable: “Collective decision-making is fundamental to effective governance. These matters are under discussion.”

Political analysts view the standoff as a critical test for South Africa’s unprecedented power-sharing arrangement. “This exposes the inherent tension between the ANC’s traditional top-down approach and the DA’s insistence on independent scrutiny,” said Professor William Gumede of Wits School of Governance. “How Ramaphosa navigates this clash will determine whether the GNU survives its first major crisis.”

The dispute highlights the fragile nature of the ANC-DA alliance, formed after the 2024 elections left no party with an outright majority. As pressure mounts, observers question whether Ramaphosa will risk the unity government’s stability to assert ANC authority or seek compromise to preserve the coalition.

With South Africa’s political future hanging in the balance, all eyes now turn to the Union Buildings as the President weighs his next move in this high-stakes constitutional and political dilemma.
