It's all systems go for Saturday’s inauguration of President Cyril Ramaphosa at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
Johannesburg - It's all systems go for Saturday’s inauguration of President Cyril Ramaphosa at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, where thousands of South Africans and international guests will witness the president ascend to the highest office in the land.
“The inauguration has always taken place in the administrative capital but we’ve tried to look at how best we can make sure we have everybody in one centre. It’s much more inclusive this time. “For security reasons we will not announce heads of state until they have landed. We have also invited representatives from regions of the continent and the AU,” Williams said.
“In fact, the SAPS have been working since May 8 during the elections; they are just continuing where they left off, and are doing a brilliant job,” said Cele. He outlined a massive deployment of officers, particularly to the “hotspot” areas around the precinct. “We know where the trouble areas are, but I don’t want to divulge too much for obvious reasons. We are well prepared,” he said.“The inauguration will be graced by several heads of state and thousands of South Africans.
