1:00Now PlayingCyril Ramaphosa was sworn in for another term as South Africa’s president, three weeks after elections stripped his party of its parliamentary majority and forced it into a power-sharing alliance with long-time rivals.
Ramaphosa took the oath of office before Chief Justice Raymond Zondo in the Nelson Mandela amphitheater at the 111-year-old Union Buildings in the capital, Pretoria, on Wednesday. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, Democratic Republic of Congo leader Felix Tshisekedi and Zimbabwe’s Emmerson Mnangagwa were among the dignitaries at the ceremony, which was followed by a 21-gun salute and an air force flyover.
“The resilience of our democracy has once more been tested, and the people have spoken loudly that they choose peace and democracy over conflict,” Ramaphosa said in his inauguration address. “The voters of South Africa did not give any single political party the full mandate to govern our country alone. They have directed us to work together to address their plight and realize their aspirations.”
