Cyril Ramaphosa reconfirmed as President of South Africa in re-election.

In the May 29th Parliamentary elections, Ramaphosa's ANC failed to secure an absolute majority for the first time. As a result, they formed a coalition government with other parties. Earlier, the ANC held 230 of the 400 Parliamentary seats. However, a string of corruption allegations involving the ANC leadership, coupled with high unemployment rates, a sluggish economy, increased crime, and recurring power cuts, led many South African citizens, both men and women, to lose faith in the ruling party.
