Former President Jacob Zuma snubs Ramaphosa’s presidential inauguration for the second time.
It’s unusual for a former president to miss a presidential inauguration, but Jacob Zuma is doing it for the second time
Ramaphosa will be inaugurated at the Union Buildings in Tshwane on Wednesday as he was duly elected president of South Africa during the first sitting of the National Assembly last Friday
In a statement released yesterday, the MK Party said it refuses to join in the spitting of the graves of those who died for South Africa’s freedom.
The party said Ramaphosa’s presidency resulted from a sellout deal signed by ANC SG Fikile Mbalula and Helen Zille last week.
Former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Kgalema Mothlanthe are expected to attend along with other heads of states from the African continent and abroad.
Ramaphosa was inaugurated in May 2019, but Zuma did not attend.
