Chapo won 64% of the disputed vote in October amid allegations of rigging.

Ramaphosa says the ceremony signals hope for the troubled country.

In a statement, the Presidency says the inauguration of Chapo provides an opportunity for all the people of Moçambique to work together towards peace, democracy, and development.

Ramaphosa is looking forward to working closely with Chapo in further strengthening the existing relations between the two countries. It says the President hopes to see Mozambicans unite with the aim of building their country.

Ramaphosa will be accompanied by Minister of International Relations and Co-operation Ronald Lamola and Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.
