New members of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s national executive were sworn-in on Wednesday at the Cape Town International Convention Center to begin their duty in the 7th administration.
The swearing in ceremony of the Deputy President, Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Ministers was presided over by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo where members took oath of office or solemn confirmation.
For the second time since the dawn of the democratic order in South Africa, the national executive will be composed of members from various political parties who have joined the “Government of National Unity” after the May 29 elections did not produce a majority winner.
