Ramaphosa’s road to Inauguration2019
, an event that marks the official change of guard in the South African politics has arrived accompanied by warm weather that has seen many spreading their umbrellas on the public grandstands at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Tshwane.
But, as the ANC’s old tradition required, Mbeki as deputy president and someone who was anointed and groomed by another struggle icon, Oliver Tambo in exile, had to succeed Madiba. There was no doubt that Mbeki was going to be the President of both the ANC and the country one day. Mbeki’s succession to Mandela was an idea also pushed by the SADC leaders such as the former Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda and the late Julius Nyerere of Tanzania who motivated why Mbeki was a suitable candidate to take over from Mandela in 1999. It suited him as he had been elected as the ANC president at Mahikeng, North West in 1997.
He made a huge come back into politics when he decided to come out of Zuma’s shadow – whom he served under as deputy president of both the ANC and the country. When Zuma’s ANC presidential term ended, Ramaphosa decided to stand for the ANC presidency and beat Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who was favoured by Zuma, her former husband and father of her children.
