It is the beginning of a new era,\u201d Ramaphosa said, after taking the oath of office during a ceremony at the Union Buildings, the seat of government, in Pretoria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe voters of South Africa did not give any single party the full mandate to govern our country alone,\u201d he added, speaking before lawmakers, foreign dignitaries, religious and traditional leaders and cheering supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have directed us to work together to address their plight and realise their aspirations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa is expected to announce his cabinet in the coming days, as talks with coalition members continue.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous heads of state, including Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Angola\u2019s Joao Lourenco, Congo Brazzaville\u2019s Denis Sassou Nguesso and Eswatini\u2019s absolute leader King Mswati III attended the inauguration.<\/p>\n<p>Guests in suits, fancy dresses and coats to keep warm in the chilly winter weather started to arrive early in the morning amid a heavy police presence.<\/p>\n<p>VIPs, some singing anti-apartheid struggle songs, were allowed into a small amphitheatre within the imposing, sandstone government building.<\/p>\n<p>Other attendees, some holding South African flags, sat on a lawn outside as dancers and musicians performed on a big stage.<\/p>\n<p>After Ramaphosa was sworn in, a band played the national anthem, followed by a 21-gun salute and a fly past by the air force.<\/p>\n<p>It was the third time Ramaphosa has taken the oath.<\/p>\n<p>The former trade unionist turned millionaire businessman first came to power in 2018, after his predecessor and rival Jacob Zuma was forced out before the end of his term under the cloud of corruption allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa was then re-appointed for a full five-year term in 2019. In South Africa, voters elect the parliament, which then votes for the president.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa promised a new dawn for South Africa, launched an anti-graft drive and started to reform a collapsing energy system.<\/p>\n<p>But under his watch, the economy languished, blighted by power cuts, crime remained rife and unemployment increased to 32.9 percent.<\/p>\n<p>In May, he led the ANC into yet another vote, but the historied party of the late Nelson Mandela came out bruised.<\/p>\n<p>It won only 40 percent \u2014 down from 57.5 percent five years earlier.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time since the advent of democracy in 1994, it lost its absolute majority in parliament and was left scrambling to find coalition partners to remain in power.<\/p>\n<p>It has since agreed to form what it calls a national unity government with several other parties.<\/p>\n<p>Unity<\/p>\n<p>They include the centre-right Democratic Alliance (DA), the Zulu nationalist Inkatha Freedom Party, the anti-immigration Patriotic Alliance and the small centre-left GOOD party.<\/p>\n<p>The deal allowed Ramaphosa to comfortably see off a last-minute challenge by firebrand leftist politician Julius Malema, with 283 lawmakers in the 400-seat National Assembly voting to put him back in office.<\/p>\n<p>But it has faced a vociferous opposition from the left, with Malema\u2019s Economic Freedom Fighters and former president Zuma\u2019s uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) refusing to take part and denouncing the inclusion of right-wing parties and the white-led, free-market DA.<\/p>\n<p>MK came third in the election but has contested the results.<\/p>\n<p>Party spokesman Nhlamulo Ndhlela said in a statement ahead of the ceremony that its lawmakers would snub the \u201cfarcical inauguration of Cyril Ramaphosa as the puppet DA-sponsored President\u201d, also using a racial slur to describe the ANC leader.<\/p>\n<p>But Ramaphosa said voters had stressed they were \u201cimpatient with political bickering\u201d and wanted parties to \u201cput their needs and aspirations first\u201d and \u201cwork together for the sake\u201d of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must reject every attempt to divide or distract us, to sow doubt or cynicism, or to turn us against one another,\u201d he said, in an apparent, veiled dig at his opponents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs leaders, as political parties, we are called upon to work in partnership towards a growing economy, better jobs, safer communities and a government that works for its people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmakers
