Scores of South Africans and international dignitaries were making their way into Loftus Stadium ahead of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s inauguration on Saturday morning.
South Africans sing struggle songs as they gather to watch the presidential inauguration on 25 May 2019, at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria. ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa is set to take the oath of office as president of South Africa.
Thousands of people are expected to attend the event in Pretoria, in a first for South Africa. Traditionally, the event is hosted at the Union Buildings but Ramaphosa chose to deviate from the norm. Around 3200 members of the public are expected to attend and will be bussed in from pick up points in and around Pretoria.
Parliamentarians, MECs, premier, mayors, sports personalities, international guests and heads of state will also be part of the programme. Ramaphosa is expected to deliver his speech around 11am and it will be preceded by live music and entertainment.
