South Africa: Ramaphosa Scrambles for Top Spot as Parliament Set to Convene | Firstpost Africa

South Africa's newly elected parliament is to convene for the first time on Friday as political parties scramble to form a coalition after general elections produced no outright winner. The ANC has been drawing up plans and negotiating with potential partners to form a government, but as the date approaches to convene the country’s parliament, there is no clear sight of who will take charge as South Africa's next leader. Last week, ANC’s Cyril Ramaphosa said that the party favoured forming a National Unity government. He called on other political parties to form an alliance but the proposal met a cool reception from some. As parties continue to reject one another, South Africa's fate has been left hanging in the balance.
