President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that inclusive economic growth would be the main focus of South Africa's new government. This pledge was made during his address to parliament, coinciding with the official opening of the new five-year term.

The address came after the African National Congress (ANC) failed to secure a majority in the May elections for the first time in 30 years, compelling the party to form a coalition with opposition parties. Ramaphosa's remarks underscore a commitment to overcoming economic challenges through inclusive policies.

The new government aims to foster economic inclusivity, reflecting a strategic shift necessary for addressing the country's socio-economic issues.
