South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa is set to begin his second term in office as president after being re-elected by lawmakers last week. The African National Congress (ANC) entered into a coalition government with the Democratic Alliance (DA) and other parties after losing its majority for the first time since the end of apartheid in 1994. The inauguration ceremony in Pretoria is expected to be attended by heads of states and dignitaries from around the world. The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, has boycotted the event, criticizing it as “farcical”. Ramaphosa is also expected to announce his new cabinet, which will include members from his coalition partners, and outline plans to revive the country’s struggling economy. This development marks a significant political shift in South Africa and is closely watched by both domestic and international observers.
