(Reuters) - South Africa's new unity government inspired cautious optimism on Monday from industry and financial markets but many citizens and political analysts fear the coalition will struggle to deliver economic growth and social change.
President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed former main opposition leader John Steenhuisen to head an important ministry on Sunday, bringing the Democratic Alliance and other parties into a coalition cabinet for the first time in three decades.
