Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng is currently presiding over the swearing-in of the 400 Members of parliament in the National Assembly.
The president of the republic will then be voted-in, with President Cyril Ramaphosa almost definitely set to take up the position.
Swearing-in ceremonies for members of provincial legislatures will also take place across the country.
