Ramaphosa’s African National Congress retained power in the May 8 polls, although its share of the valid vote dipped to 57.5% from 61.15% at the previous elections in 2014 amid public anger over his predecessor Jacob Zuma’s mismanagement of the economy. Ackerman said the cabinet announcement, expected later this month, was perhaps even more important than the actual election results, especially for international investors, given that the ANC was already expected to win.
