Ramaphosa also declared a war on poverty.
"Despite our earnest efforts, many in South Africa still go to bed hungry, many succumb to diseases that can be treated, many live lives of intolerable deprivation. Let's declare that our shared determination that we shall end poverty in South Africa within a generation," he promised.
On the African continent, Ramaphosa said he would work with his counterparts.
"We will work with the rest of the continent to realize the AU's vision of Agenda 2063, to forge a free trade area that stretches from Cape Town to Cairo, bringing growth and opportunity to all African countries," he said.
The President also assessed his battalion, planes, Air Force jets and planes.
Numerous heads of state from across the African continent attended Ramaphosa's inauguration including those of Zimbabwe, Namibia, Tanzania, Togo, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
