Cyril Ramaphosa (65) was elected as South Africa’s new president by that country’s Parliament on Thursday after Jacob Zuma was forced to resign by the ruling party. “Ramaphosa said, “One of the things I will be seeking to do is have a meeting with all political parties. We will start it off with a meeting with leaders of all political parties to find a way to work together.” “’I seek to serve with humility, faithfulness and dignity.” Ramaphosa was unopposed and Chief Justice, Mogoeng Mogoeng declared him president. Opposition MPs opted not to put forward a candidate, but instead to call for Parliament to be dissolved and the country hold fresh elections. Zuma resigned on Wednesday after the ANC recalled him and gave him a deadline to resign. Members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) staged a walkout and said ANC lawmakers did not hold Zuma accountable for corruption and had therefore violated the constitution.
