Following the desperate push to get him out of office and the
eventual capitulation of former President Jacob Zuma to the intense pressure by
his own party to quit, dark clouds hanging over the country since the December
elective national conference of the ruling party, which narrowly produced Mr.
Cyril Ramaphosa as the leader of the party has not and will not be clearing
soon.
Mr. Ramaphosa, former labour organiser, ANC top stalwart
turned tycoon and now President of the Republic
of South Africa has promised a new
dawn, not only for his country but for Africa .
Given that inaugural speeches in Africa by
newly triumphant helmsmen are replete with such boisterous and optimistic
rhetoric, it will be more reasonable to wait and see the magic wand that Mr.
Ramaphosa wants to wield.
