South Africa’s top court revives impeachment inquiry against president | Politics News
The South African Constitutional Court has ruled that parliament's decision to block an impeachment inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa is inconsistent with the constitution. The court ordered the referral of the independent panel's report to an impeachment committee, which will review evidence against Ramaphosa before deciding whether to recommend formal proceedings. The ruling comes after allegations surfaced in 2022 that Ramaphosa attempted to cover up the theft of a large sum of foreign currency from his farmhouse. The Economic Freedom Fighters and the African Transformation Movement brought the case, calling for Ramaphosa's resignation.
