This happened last night:

South African President and ANC leader Cyril Ramaphosa has been re-elected for a second term, after his party signed a coalition agreement with a former political opponent just hours earlier.

In South Africa, the president is elected by the National Assembly, one of the houses of parliament. Ramaphosa was running against a surprise candidate, Julius Malema of the left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters.

Ramaphosa won the vote convincingly: he received 283 votes, Malema 44. The National Assembly has 400 members. Ramaphosa, 71, secured his second five-year term with the help of MPs from the country’s second-largest party, the Democratic Alliance, and several smaller parties. He needed that support because his own party, the ANC, lost the majority in the elections two weeks ago.

Thirty visitors to an amusement park in Oregon, in the northwest of the US, hung upside down in an attraction for half an hour before being rescued from their plight by rescuers.

Have a nice day!
