Post-election coalition talks in South Africa

 South Africa enters a new phase post-May 29. With election results out and no clear winner arch enemies will be required to work together to govern. Socialists, centrists, tribalists, populists and liberals. All together for the 'Rainbow Nation'. 

Coalition talks are underway and the early guesses are is that we'll get:

DA supporting the ANC minority government.

DA and IFP support the ANC minority government.

(Both in return for concessions - policy and positions).

DA IFP ANC government of national unity. 

The MK - which wants the CR faction gone in ANC for a deal and EFF - which is radical - are unlikely to crack the nod. 

Grab the popcorn folks.
