Ramaphosa was re-elected for his second term on June 15 following a coalition deal between the governing African National Congress (ANC) and opposition parties including the Democratic Alliance (DA).
The deal was struck following weeks of speculation about whom the ANC would partner with after losing its parliamentary majority for the first time in 30 years in last month’s elections.
In the just concluded elections, the ANC got 40% of the vote, while the DA came second with 22%.
“We have been here before, we were here in 1994 when we sought to unite our country and to effect reconciliation – and we are here now,” said Rampahosa after being re-elected.
