The GNU is headed for another battle — this time over the replacement of Ebrahim Rasool as SA’s ambassador to the US.

The DA believes the appointment should be a GNU decision, while the ANC contends that the GNU partners agreed that foreign policy would not be within the purview of the governing coalition, which includes 10 parties.
