South Africa LIVE: Inauguration of South Africa's President-Elect Ramaphosa | ANC Party | South Africa Elections | CNBC TV18
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been reelected by lawmakers for a second term after his African National Congress and the Democratic Alliance struck a historic deal to form a coalition government by setting aside their rivalry.
Ramaphosa’s ANC lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in 30 years in last month’s elections. It got 40 per cent of the vote, while the Democratic Alliance (DA) came second with 22 per cent. The new government of national unity combines Ramaphosa’s ANC, the centre-right DA and smaller parties.
Ramaphosa, 71, easily won the late Friday vote against Julius Malema, leader of the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). Ramaphosa got 283 votes and Malema just 44. Parliament earlier in the day also elected Thoko Didiza of the ANC as Speaker and Annelie Lotriet of the DA as Deputy Speaker
The presidential inauguration to be held at the Union Buildings in Pretoria today will be accompanied by pomp and ceremony befitting an incoming head of state and government.

Much of this will include the participation of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), with a full battalion pledging its allegiance to the Republic of South Africa and President-elect Cyril Ramaphosa as the country’s commander-in-chief.
The battalion comprises the South African Army, Air Force, the Navy, and the Military Health Service which includes the National Ceremonial Guard with its military band. The Airforce is scheduled to perform a 21-gun salute heralding the commencement of South Africa’s 7th administration.
Ramaphosa, who was elected as President for the second term after the May 29 elections, will also inspect the SANDF’s battalion to be accompanied by a massed flypast.

Someone who stayed in this house built by Arpatheid Government for 9 years can stand and accuse Ramaphosa of going into An Alliance with DA....Living in this house wouldn't be seen as spitting into the Graves of Old people who fought for this Freedom....fakiofu
