Both are women and Lotriet is from South Africa\u2019s white minority.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Illegal\u2019 \u2013<br \/>\nLawmakers cast their ballot one by one in a lengthy ceremony held in a Cape Town convention centre, as the parliament building is being rebuilt after a 2022 fire.<\/p>\n<p>EFF members took the oath wearing red overalls and in some cases rubber boots and plastic construction worker helmets.<\/p>\n<p>They declined to support the incoming administration, having refused to countenance joining an alliance with right-wing or white-led parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a government of national unity, this is a grand coalition between the ANC and white monopoly capital. History will judge you harshly,\u201d EFF leader Malema said, after conceding defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Graft-tainted former president Jacob Zuma\u2019s new party uMkhonto weSizwe (MK), which came third in the election, has disputed the results and its MPs boycotted Friday\u2019s sitting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sitting of the national assembly today as far as we\u2019re concerned is illegal and unconstitutional,\u201d MK spokesman Nhlamulo Ndhlela told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>A former trade unionist turned millionaire businessman, Ramaphosa will preside over a government combining radically different political views.<\/p>\n<p>The ANC is a historically pan-Africanist, progressive party of the left that has overseen welfare and economic empowerment programmes for poor, black South Africans.<\/p>\n<p>The largest coalition party, the DA, pushes a liberal, free-market agenda. Smaller parties that are understood to have agreed to join the government range from the left to the far right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the heart of this government of national unity statement is a shared respect and defence of our constitution and the rule of law,\u201d DA leader John Steenhuisen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 No easy road \u2013<br \/>\nThe agreement extended to regional coalitions in Johannesburg\u2019s Gauteng province and in KwaZulu-Natal, the Zulu heartland.<\/p>\n<p>Zuma\u2019s MK won the most votes in the latter but was left empty-handed as coalition members managed to get a wafer-thin majority of 41 out of 80 provincial councillors.<\/p>\n<p>DA\u2019s Steenhuisen said the coalition agreement included a consensus mechanism to deal \u201cwith the disagreements that will inevitably arise\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa first came to power in 2018 after Zuma was forced out under the cloud of corruption allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Under his watch South Africa suffered from record power cuts, the economy languished and crime remained rife. Unemployment is at almost 33 percent.<\/p>\n<p>He will now have the arduous task to bridge conflicting views within government to turn around South Africa\u2019s economic fortunes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmakers in Cape Town voted overwhelmingly on Friday to put Ramaphosa, 71, back in office for another five years after the May 29 general election produced no outright winner South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was re-elected for a second term after his humbled ANC cobbled together an unprecedented coalition government.
