South Africa Inter-ministerial committee addressed the media on the state of readiness for the Presidential inauguration of the seventh administration for Cyril Ramaphosa. He will be inaugurated on Wednesday.
Re-elected, President Cyril Ramaphosa
Khumbudo Ntshavheni, minister in the Presidency said that
the ceremony will be at the Union Buildings and Chief Justice Raymond Zondo
will administer oath of office to President-Elect.
This Presidential Inauguration is an important feature in
which South Africa is marking 30 Years of Freedom.
Under the theme “30 years of Democracy, Partnership and
Growth” – which is also a theme of the inauguration. The Inauguration will
bring together South Africans from all backgrounds, walks of life and political
orientation, united in our diversity. It offers us an occasion to celebrate our
democratic values and system of governance, including the agreed commitment of
our body politic that the Seventh Administration will be one led by a
Government of National Unity.
The theme brings perspective to our past and the road of
progress that we have travelled since 1994 when Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela took
his Oath of Office at the Union Buildings on 10 May as our first democratically
elected President.
“It emphasizes the
need to build on our achievements since 1994, leverage on our experiences of
the past 30 years and commit to work together to address the remaining
challenges of poverty, inequality, and unemployment that still face our country”
said Ntshavheni.
Ntshavheni said that, “Law enforcement agencies will be
fully deployed to ensure safety and security, as demonstrated in action, our
law enforcement agencies have the capacity and capability to keep South Africa
safe and stable and no amount of veiled threats of instability should
intimidate South Africans”.
Ntshavheni encouraged South Africans to be part of the
occasion.
Those who cannot attend are encouraged to follow
proceedings on television and radio.
