In Botswana thousands of people attended the inauguration of their country’s new president, Duma Boko. His ‘Umbrella For Democratic Change’ party won 36 parliamentary seats and denied former president Mokgweetsi Masisi a second term. Addressing the nation in his first official speech as president, Boko called for unity after an election that brought an end to the former ruling party’s 58 years in power. Details with FRANCE 24 regional correspondent in Cape Town, Tom Canetti.
