After being sworn in for a second term, President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized the importance of job creation and economic growth, stating that any party in the government of national unity (GNU) that fails to meet these objectives will be removed. The GNU comprises the ANC, DA, IFP, PA, and GOOD, Times Live reports. Ramaphosa took his oath before Chief Justice Raymond Zondo at the Union Buildings in Pretoria and is set to announce his cabinet soon. With 47% of South Africans receiving social grants and an official unemployment rate of 32.9%, Ramaphosa is determined to ensure all GNU parties contribute to addressing these economic challenges.
