Various African heads of state gathered in Pretoria for the swearing-in of Cyril Ramaphosa as South Africa's president for a second term.

This marks the first coalition government in 30 years after the ANC lost its parliamentary majority. Ramaphosa, reelected by lawmakers with support from the main opposition and a smaller party, faces the challenge of leading a coalition with divergent views on key issues like land redistribution and the electricity crisis. The formation of the new Cabinet remains pending.
