"South Africa faces a defining election" writes the Economist. Ever since the first post-apartheid election in 1994, the African National Congress has held a majority of seats in the National Assembly. With the country deteriorating, will they win >50% of the seats needed to form a coalition?

@FUTURESEARCH or @mods this can resolve YES

"On 14 June 2024, the ANC, the DA, the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and the Patriotic Alliance (PA), agreed to form a national unity government, with Cyril Ramaphosa being re-elected President of South Africa.[4][5]"

Sold all my shares before "minority government -> Vote of no confidence against Cyril -> No President for 30 days -> Parliament dissolved and another election is held."

please clarify whether a minority government will be counted as coalition

Rules say "Will they win > 50% seats". The title says the opposite "will a coalition government be formed" (implies < 50% seats). Bad rules.

"Will a coalition be formed?" Is a different question from whether a party will get > 50% of the seats. Other possibilities - minority government (at least in the UK/Canada - you can have agreements to not vote against a party on key votes), and no coalition/government being formed.
