2500 officers deployed ahead of Ramaphosa inauguration
Cyril Ramaphosa will take his oath of office at Loftus Versveld Stadium - after being elected president by Parliament earlier this week.
The cost of this ceremony has been a contentious issue.
Last week - Minister in the Presidency - Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma would not be drawn on the amount it would cost - but said it would be at least R100 million less than what it cost for the last swearing-in ceremony.
Former President Jacob Zuma's inauguration in 2014 cost around R240 million. It was more than triple the amount spent on his first inauguration in 2009.
