The Third Cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa, also self-described as a "Government of National Unity" (GNU), was formed following the election of Ramaphosa to a second full term as President of South Africa following the 2024 general election. His party, the African National Congress (ANC), lost its absolute majority in the parliamentary election and was reduced to a plurality in the National Assembly. Following the election, the parties engaged in negotiations on forming a coalition government. On 14 June 2024, the ANC, the Democratic Alliance (DA), the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), Patriotic Alliance (PA) and Good, agreed to form a landmark national unity government, with Cyril Ramaphosa being re-elected President of South Africa. This marks the first time the ANC has had to govern without an absolute majority since the end of apartheid in 1994.[6][7]
President Ramaphosa announced his Third Cabinet on 30 June 2024.[8][9][10]
The deputy president, and the initial set of ministers and deputy ministers were sworn in on 3 July 2024.[11]
