Mnangagwa In South Africa To Attend Cyril Ramaphosa’s Presidential Inauguration

President Emmerson Mnangagwa travelled to South Africa on Tuesday, 18 June, to attend the inauguration of President Cyril Ramaphosa, leader of the African National Congress (ANC).

The inauguration will take place at the Union Buildings in Pretoria today.

Posting on his X page yesterday, Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe and South Africa will continue pushing for a prosperous and united Africa. He wrote:

Today, I arrived at Waterkloof Airforce Base in South Africa and will have the honour of attending President @CyrilRamaphosa’s inauguration. President Ramaphosa’s re-election underscores the enduring bond and shared aspirations between our two nations. Together, we continue to strive for a prosperous and united Africa.

In a statement, the South African Presidency said at least 18 Heads of State and Government, three former Heads of State and Government and nine heads of delegation are expected to attend.

Ramaphosa garnered 283 votes ahead of Julius Malema of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) who received 44 votes during the Presidential election at Parliament in Cape Town on Friday last week.

The ANC was forced into a coalition government (Government of National Unity) that includes the white-dominated Democratic Alliance (DA), the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), GOOD, and the Patriotic Alliance (PA), after it failed to obtain the 50-plus per cent threshold in the general election that was held on May 29.

The ANC won the lion’s share of the votes and has 159 seats, the DA has 87 seats, the IFP has 17 seats, the PA has 9 seats, and the GOOD Party has 1 seat.

Unlike in Zimbabwe, where the President and MPs are elected directly by voters, in South Africa, MPs are elected from party lists.

The percentage of votes each party wins results in the same percentage of MPs in Parliament and Parliament then elects a president.

Ramaphosa was elected by MPs from the ANC, the DA and their coalition partners.

That must have been a very uncomfortable experience for Mnangagwa. He acts contrary to every value and principle upheld in Ramaphosa's speech. It means that Ramaphosa/ANC has gone against all of Mnangagwa's advice.

@....,. I have seen Monica mutsvangwa giving a national report on TV. She not have any paper, I only learnt that she was reading from somewhere when l checked the movement of her eyes, she was also struggling to read some of the big words, so it became obvious to me that she was reading a prepared speech

The bond between Zimbabwe and South Africa has long been rooted in shared values and principles as the ruling parties in respective countries are both liberation movements.Now that ANC has lost its influence to convince South Africans that their problems can be solved by the party's ideological principles , its bilateral relations with Zimbabwe is likely to slide a bit.This is because South Africa's national agendas or interests are no longer independently dictated by the ANC but collectively with other parties carrying slightly different ideologies. However, diplomatic relations between these two countries will remain but South Africa is no longer driven by struggle aligned policies instead collectivism is taking centre stage here!. Your presence at the inauguration Your Excellence signifies the existence of mutual relationships between these progressive Southern African countries.Hats Off

it will no longer be business as usual for Rama. being more of a business person than a politician I expect him to perform with excellence with the business and development oriented DA. I am sure the reduced ANC presence in parliament will mean less political squabbles, a positive for Rama. Congratulations to South Africa for honouring and upholding the wish of the South African people without being disturbed by powerful individuals.
