The South African parliament elected Cyril Ramaphosa, unopposed, as the new president of the country a few hours after the resignation of Jacob Zuma in a television address late at night after nine years of reign.
The African National Congress (ANC), which has a large majority in parliament, today said it would name the wealthy businessman who has become Zuma's vice president since 2014 and who has just appeared.
The appointment of Mr. Ramaphosa, leader of the ruling party of the African National Congress since December 2017, has angered some members of the far-left party, representatives of the Economic Freedom Fighters, who protested before the vote.
Vice President Ramachosa, 65, became acting chief immediately after Zuma's resignation Wednesday. He became the union leader during apartheid and chief negotiator for Nelson Mandela. rule of the white minority.
When Mandela's presidency ended, he said he wanted Ramaphosa to succeed him. But Ramaphosa lost the race to lead the ANC and the country to Thabo Mbeki, another anti-apartheid leader who returned to South Africa after living in exile.
