President Nana Akufo-Addo expressed his optimism about South Africa’s future, stating, “I am confident that, under your continued leadership, South Africa will attain greater heights, and make significant strides towards the realisation of these goals” of “recovery, social development, and continental integration.”
Despite the African National Congress (ANC) dominating South African politics for three decades under leaders like Nelson Mandela, the party lost its majority in the 29 May national elections. With 159 lawmakers in the 400-member National Assembly, the ANC struggled to form a government on its own and proposed a government of national unity.
The ANC reached an agreement to form a national unity government with the Democratic Alliance, Patriotic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, and others.
