"However, in an address to the nation on Monday evening, he said that he will not resign, and that he plans to legally challenge an independent panel’s report that found preliminary evidence he had committed misconduct. Ramaphosa’s African National Congress has called a meeting of its National Executive Committee on Tuesday to discuss what to do about the scandal, a party spokesperson said."
South Africa’s parliament will begin setting up an impeachment committee to probe allegations against President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Farmgate scandal. The lower house said its speaker will establish the body after the Constitutional Court revived impeachment proceedings. The committee will review evidence related to a reported $4 million in foreign cash hidden in a sofa at Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala game farm. The committee will decide whether to recommend formal impeachment proceedings after deliberating for several months. Ramaphosa has denied wrongdoing, said he will not resign, and plans to legally challenge an independent panel’s report that found preliminary evidence of misconduct. Opposition parties brought the case, and the African National Congress plans to meet to decide next steps.
