Ramaphosa Announces Historic Coalition Government
News summary

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced a new coalition government after the African National Congress (ANC) lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since the end of apartheid. The new Cabinet consists of 32 ministerial positions, with the ANC retaining 20, the Democratic Alliance (DA) holding six, and the remainder shared among smaller parties. This coalition, formed without firm agreements, is viewed as unprecedented in South African history. The new government will prioritize economic growth, social justice, and combatting poverty, unemployment, and corruption. Despite the coalition, significant political disagreements remain, particularly over national healthcare policy and black economic empowerment programs. Analysts question the stability and effectiveness of this power-sharing arrangement.
