Cyril Ramaphosa sworn in as new president
CYRIL RAMAPHOSA was sworn in today as South Africa’s new president after the resignation late last night of Jacob Zuma.
Ramaphosa was the only candidate nominated for election after two opposition parties said they would not participate.
They instead tried to have parliament dissolved and elections brought forward from 2019.
