Zuma delivers a speech after Parliament named him the new head of state on May 6, 2009 in Cape Town. Zuma, who led the ANC to a sweeping election victory two weeks ago on an anti-poverty platform, vowed to extend the social safety net while improving education, health care and policing. He added that he planned for his cabinet to take office by May 11, following his own inauguration on May 9. (Gianluigi Guercia, AFP)
