Cyril Ramaphosa elected President of South Africa
Following the resignation of scandal-hit Jacob Zuma on Wednesday, Cyril Ramaphosa has been elected as President of South Africa by a parliamentary vote. Last year, Ramaphosa replaced Zuma as leader of the ruling party. Ramaphosa, who actively participated in the anti-apartheid movement, was described as one of the most gifted leaders of the "new generation" by former President Nelson Mandela.
