President Cyril Ramaphosa will open a new parliamentary term, marking the start of his 11-party coalition government. This coalition follows a historic election where the ANC lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since apartheid ended in 1994, securing only 40% of the vote.
In his speech, Ramaphosa will outline the government's priorities, addressing high unemployment, inequality, and failing public services. The ANC now shares power with other parties, including the main opposition, the Democratic Alliance.
Former President Jacob Zuma, leading the MK party, has emerged as a key opposition figure despite being disqualified from parliament due to a prior conviction. MK party is now the official opposition in parliament.
Ramaphosa's coalition government faces the challenge of reviving South Africa's economy and tackling its social issues, but leaders of the new coalition express hope for a new era of political unity.
