This will will violate both the letter and spirit of the GNU's joint statement of intent, says DA leader John Steenhuisen.
According to Steenhuisen, the DA made it clear during negotiations that the BELA Bill was unacceptable to the party in its current form.
By signing the controversial Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Bill into law, President Cyril Ramaphosa will violate both the letter and spirit of the joint statement of intent which forms the foundation of the government of national unity.
This is according to DA leader John Steenhuisen, a key member of the GNU, over an issue that looks set to become the first major obstacle for the four-month-old unity government.
On Friday, Ramaphosa will sign the BELA Bill into law at the Union Buildings, the Presidency announced on Wednesday.
