The African National Congress (ANC) has expedited plans to convene its National Executive Committee. The meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, aims to scrutinize President Cyril Ramaphosa's involvement in the 'Farmgate' scandal, as reported by TimesLIVE and confirmed by a party spokesperson.
According to a recent ruling by the constitutional court, impeachment proceedings against Ramaphosa have been rekindled. At the heart of the scandal is a striking incident from 2020, wherein a substantial amount of foreign currency was allegedly stolen from the depths of a sofa in Ramaphosa's farmhouse.
Despite the gravity of the charges, Ramaphosa maintains his innocence, denying any misconduct. This evolving situation poses significant ramifications for both his position and the nation's political landscape.
