South Africa inaugurates president for 2nd term

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s president, Jacob Zuma, was inaugurated for a second term on Saturday in a ceremony marked by dance, prayer, a 21-gun salute and air force flyovers.

Leaders from Nigeria, Zimbabwe and other African countries attended the event at the Union Buildings, a government complex in the South African capital of Pretoria. It was the same place where Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who became South Africa’s first black president, took the oath of office 20 years ago in a ceremony officially ending white minority rule.
