Fri 14 June 2024:
South Africa’s newly elected parliament has convened to choose the country’s next president, with the country on a political knife-edge since last month’s election.
Lawmakers meeting on Friday are expected to re-elect President Cyril Ramaphosa to form an unprecedented coalition government after his governing African National Congress (ANC) party cobbled together a coalition deal following the May 29 vote
Chief justice Raymond Zondo started the swearing in of Parliament members by congratulating them and reminding them of the impact of their work.
“I congratulate each and everyone of the members,” he said.
He reminded the politicians of the importance of their roles and each position in the National Assembly.
He told politicians it was an honour to be sworn in and told them to not take it lightly.
