South African President Cyril Ramaphosa clinched a second term after a coalition agreement was struck between his African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), marking a historic shift in governance. The deal, forged just hours before the parliamentary vote, saw Ramaphosa garner support from across party lines to maintain leadership in Africa’s largest economy. The move follows the ANC’s loss of its long-standing majority in recent elections, signaling a new era of collaboration amidst socio-economic challenges.
