Presidential Inauguration | Pomp and ceremony at Ramaphosa inauguration

South Africa has begun a "new era", President Cyril Ramaphosa was sworn in for a second term.

Dignitaries from across the world and many heads of state were in attendance.

The red carpet was filled with an array of colors and monochromatic fashion moments.

We leave with some of the highlights of today's presidential inauguration ceremony at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.

I know a former president who will not watch this inauguration for all the money in the world😂. Iconic moment indeed

Listening and reflecting to the lyrics of our national anthem the writing has always been on the wall for us to truly embrace each other and work together for a better South Africa.

Ain’t nothing but a Sellout Party (singing in Snoop Doggy Dog’s voice). By the way, pun intended

😢😢😊felt proud of South Africa and had tears. This is a historic moment and we role models for the world. Father in Jesus Name please let the National unity be Blessed and SA prosper and millions jobs created for all and poor fed and all the points President Rhamophosa mentioned achieved and no violence and evil fall upon them
Thank You Father in Jesus Name for answering our prayers to build a prosperous South Africa for all as one nation
DA anti apartheid
Amen

What a waste.
Do they have any decency.
Look after the nation first then put on the shows.

🎉 once the easily fooled masses realise that it is their own responsibility to educate themselves in the matters of voting for a workable government & they stop expecting that the right of franchise extends to singing & dancing in the sun without a care in the world then we may have some hope. The Right of Franchise carries individual responsibility, it's not just a baton pass to some new expectant Chief.

What Pomp & Circumstance only the Brits can pull it off Like Trooping the Colour a real Display

Looks more like "PLUMP" and ceremony. Goodness people, go for a run.

[KeithBradley-igfo]

😅why they have to act & dress like fools & celebrate like they've just saved the country when the work has yet to commence. ? . Not exactly confidence inspiring I would think ~ it's a measure of how dumb the electorate really are.

From a distance Mnangagwa looks like a reincarnation of Mugabe

[NompiloNgcobo-nzpo]

Ubekhona umswati nomnangagwa abaphathi be sauth africa amaqili .

[ZandileKhwela]

hayi bo makoti wakhje waguda so kunaye

[patryspatrys]

I pray that this government will do better for the beautiful people of this land. South Africans deserve better. I pray that every word of our national anthem is a fulfilled prophecy

[jameskillu]

Why is DA speaking like they own this GNU

LAST TIME HE NEVER LAID HIS HAND IN THE BIBLE TO TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE. A GODLESS MAN.
DID HE TAKE THE OATH WITH HIS HAND ON THE BIBLE THIS TIME. DOES ANYBODY KNOW?
