Cyril Ramaphosa: South Africa president faces call to resign after court ruling
The Constitutional Court ruled that parliament violated the constitution by blocking impeachment proceedings against President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2022. This decision, following a legal challenge by opposition parties including Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), could lead to fresh impeachment proceedings. The ruling stems from allegations of financial impropriety surrounding a $500,000 theft from Ramaphosa's rural home in 2020. The ANC, which currently governs in coalition, has welcomed the court's decision and will hold internal meetings to consider its implications.
