South Africa’s ruling African National Congress is set to meet on Friday to decide Cyril Ramaphosa’s fate, with his presidency hanging by a thread in the wake of a damning parliamentary report into a scandal over the theft of bundles of cash from his private game farm.
The ANC’s national executive committee will debate Ramaphosa’s future after his presidency was thrown into turmoil late on Wednesday by findings that he failed to properly report the 2020 heist at his Phala Phala reserve.
The report concluded that he might have broken the law and should be investigated for possible impeachment, prompting calls from the main opposition parties for him to step down.
