Now to South Africa, where President Cyril Ramaphosa will be inaugurated today in Pretoria. He is expected to announce his new cabinet by May 27th. During his first term, he promised he would reduce the size of the cabinet and the number of government departments and fight public sector corruption. Angelo Coppola reports on the country's expectations ahead of the swearing in.

Following the elections in early in May, a list of 430 names from various parties was submitted. There are several notable exceptions form the list, including trade minister Rob Davies and economic development minister Ebrahim Patel. Which suggests consolidation in the economic ministerial cluster.

MIKE SCHUSSLER CHIEF ECONOMIST, ECONOMISTS.CO.ZA "The economic cluster should be two ministries, one should be finance, the other one should be economic affairs. Economic affairs can then take trade and industry, economic development and small business, all under one roof, they'll be a separate ministry, probably still for public enterprises, because of the scale of the problems, particularly with Eskom, in it, but I think overall we need to have a smaller cabinet. A more focussed cabinet and a more coordinated cabinet."

ANALYSTS say that consolidation presents Ramaphosa with a choice.

DR. THABI LEOKA INDEPENDENT ECONOMIST "I think this is an opportunity for Cyril Ramaphosa to get an outsider. Somebody who comes from the business sector. He is given two options. Or two chances of choosing someone. And I think that will be a very, very strategic one to have."

The previous government under Jacob Zuma was bloated, and amongst the biggest in the world. And some cabinet ministers regularly interfered in the operations of their ministries.

MIKE SCHUSSLER CHIEF ECONOMIST, ECONOMISTS.CO.ZA "The fact is you want professionals to run this. I think we don't want politicians to feel that they must run it. I think the politicians are there to say, this is the policy of our government, and to oversee if the policy is being done. But the nitty-gritty work and the major work should be done by professionals there."

The size of the new cabinet remains a tightly held secret and there is a fair amount of negotiation still underway.

MIKE SCHUSSLER CHIEF ECONOMIST, ECONOMISTS.CO.ZA "We should not really have more than 15 ministries. We will probably end up with more than that. But I think you should have 15 ministries or so. The unions are now talking about 26, I think somewhere along the line between those sought of two figures, is where we will probably end up."

Ramaphosa has a second opportunity to make a difference to the growth of the country.

DR. THABI LEOKA INDEPENDENT ECONOMIST "So now he can actually prove to South Africans who the real Cyril Ramaphosa is and what he stands for. I think that this is an opportunity for him to also leave a legacy. And want to do something to change South Africa."

ANGELO COPPOLA JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA "Whatever the president decides in the coming days, he's going to be taking seriously what Moodys, the credit rating agency had to say and that was, if there wasn't effective policy change, the country's sovereign credit profile is likely to erode, we are likely to see a weakening in the fiscal state of health of the country and also economic growth is likely to stay very low.
