UNION BUILDINGS, PRETORIA

Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni says the country is ready to host the inauguration of the President-elect, Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday, June 19.

This comes after Ramaphosa was re-elected to the highest office in Parliament on Friday.

According to Ntshavheni, the inauguration ceremony will be held at the Union Buildings in Pretoria from 11 am.

Ntshavheni says the public is also invited to attend the proceedings and that roads around the Union Buildings precinct will be closed off to traffic.

“The President-elect will be sworn in by the Chief Justice of the Republic of South Africa Justice Raymond Zondo. The ceremony will be staged in the Union Buildings Amphitheatre. Preparations have been made for South Africans to participate in the Union Buildings South lawns,” she adds.

Meanwhile, International Relations Minister, Dr Naledi Pandor says a number of heads of state and government have been invited to attend Ramaphosa’s inauguration.

She says the invitations were also extended to African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat and Pan African Parliament President Fortune Charumbira, among others.

Pandor and other ministers were addressing the media in Pretoria on the state of readiness for the Presidential inauguration.

“A large number of the invitations have gone to heads of state of the SADC region, central and east Africa as well as all the chairpersons of the regional economic and of course the chairperson of the African Union Commission, the President of the Pan African Parliament those would be the guests,” she says.

Tinubus presence at Ramaphosas inauguration is a testament to his influential role in Nigerian and international politics, a proud moment for all Nigerians!

Politics is not for the weak. It's for those willing to align, realign, cajole, play the fool, negotiate, renegotiate, and all for it.
You don't blackmail,curse,abuse and terrorize to get political power. Neither it's offered to you on a platter of gold.

He that has ears let him hear.

I have entered the Union building
As far back as 2004-2008

Mtcheeeeeeew

Tinubu's Urchins are hungry and he is living large ?

Jagaban go fall down again in South Africa.

I hope Tinubu conducts not only attends the swearing in ceremony but also learn to make our electoral system transparent like we saw in SA.

I call on our security Agencies and that of South Africa to ensure that our President does not fall. All staircase should be levelled for the President of Nigeria.

On your mandate we shall stand, JAG'BAN!

I'm almost there

White man edifice.

Who cares?

When I visited South Africa at the airport I was melted with a very bad precedents. By not allowing me to take my selfie in peace to a police officer refusing a capture with me down to scary moment of Broad day robbery on a moving van by South African destitute association of ITA. Low and behold xenophobia era have just begun. I have to take my leave to avoid stories of one man nation lucky dube syndrome.

That's unfortunate, SA is a free society and people are free to take pics anywhere. Maybe because it was an airport there are high risk security areas.

Shut up!! Nonsense country with useless leaders. South Pole country. Can never be Africa 🌍

Seen.

Looks like Capitol

Its okay.

Hope Tinubu learns a thing or two from them before he returns.

Okay

Akanbi

WannaHowzit:
The Union Buildings is one of South Africa's most popular tourist destinations and entry to the lawns is free to the public.

I swear if I see Tinubu there I'll go and poo on that beautiful lawn
