Ramaphosa Wins Court Battle, Halts Farmgate Impeachment Hearings

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa won a court challenge, halting parliamentary impeachment proceedings over the “Farmgate” scandal. The Western Cape High Court granted an interim interdict on Friday, preventing public hearings while Ramaphosa contests a 2022 report alleging serious misconduct linked to hidden cash at his ranch. Ramaphosa denies wrongdoing and maintains support from the ANC, which holds about 40 percent of seats in parliament.
