President-Elect of the United States, Donald Trump, is set to take power after his inauguration ceremony on 20th January 2025, becoming the 47th president of the country.
The Republican president is expected to immediately implement a number of changes, including pardoning convicted criminals involved in the 6th January 2021 Capitol Attack and also make moves towards the ending of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Trump previously said he could “end in a day.”
Interested people in South Africa will likely be able to watch the Trump inauguration across a number of online and offline sources later today.
How and when the watch the Donald Trump Presidential Inauguration in South Africa
The ceremony is set to begin at 11:30 ET, which means around 18:30 CAT, or South African time. However, the ceremony is expected to take a while, so people in South Africa, block out your evening if you are interested to see the Trump presidential inauguration.
It is set to be an important moment in worldwide politics so it is likely to be aired live across most major news sources on DStv, especially American sources like CNN which is on channel 401.
If you don’t have DStv, the Trump inauguration will be viewable to people in South Africa via live streams online. There will likely be hundreds of streams across most popular social media or video sharing platforms.
American news sources like NBC will stream the event live on their website free of charge, which you can find here.
You can also watch the inauguration in South Africa through the unlisted PBS News livestream we have embedded below.
