South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa will speak to the nation after his impeachment proceedings were revived by the constitutional court. The address is scheduled for 2000 local time on Monday, as confirmed by his office.

The impeachment process is linked to the so-called 'Farmgate' scandal from 2020, where thieves reportedly stole bundles of foreign cash hidden within a sofa on Ramaphosa's farm. The president has strongly denied any involvement in the alleged improprieties.

The decision to reevaluate the impeachment proceedings underscores the political turmoil facing Ramaphosa as he navigates this high-profile controversy. The outcome could have significant implications for his presidency and the political landscape in South Africa.
