South Africa: Ramaphosa To Be Re-Elected As President As ANC Forms Unity Govt | Firstpost Africa
Cyril Ramaphosa is set to be re-elected as the President of South Africa as the new National Assembly convenes. After days of discussions and deliberations, the African National Congress will reportedly form a government of national unity in South Africa with support from the Democratic Alliance (DA), the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and other smaller parties. This comes weeks after a weakened election verdict where the ANC fell short of a majority for the first time in 30 years. 58 MPs from Jacob Zuma's MK Party boycotted the parliament sitting. While he's set for a second term, challenges for President Cyril Ramaphosa are far from over. What are the obstacles he could face now? Can Ramaphosa shore up falling support for the ANC? Can Ramaphosa hold the unity government intact? Watch this video for details.

According to who, you? The democratic processes have been followed. If your party which you voted for has not made it , it is obvious that you are not happy, therefore, you are not the spokesperson of the South Africans. Swallow even it is bitter you can't do otherwise.

ANC might be left in its speak, but its very much to the right when it comes to policy and is pro big capital- much like the DA. so seeing big capital team up wasn't much of a surprise. if they had teamed up with MK or EFF that would have been a shocker. SA has many problems- but SA'n know chaos aint the answer.

[@connectingdotstv9411]

Always remember this: Africa was once great. The Greeks learned about medicine and mathematics here. However, much of this was destroyed as part of the colonization program, and history was rewritten. So, it is never that Africans are incapable people; it is just that they are in fight-or-flight mode, or 'survival mode,' as a result of the ugly past. Consequently, everyone you put in power thinks about their own needs first. It's Psychology 101
