Ramaphosa Secures ANC Support Amid 'Farmgate' Controversy

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has gained the backing of the ANC's National Executive Committee amidst the 'Farmgate' scandal. This endorsement could be pivotal as impeachment proceedings loom over undisclosed foreign cash found at his ranch. A parliamentary committee is set to investigate further.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has received crucial support from the ANC's National Executive Committee, according to SABC, amidst a scandal involving hidden bundles of foreign currency on his property.

The endorsement follows a constitutional court decision to reinitiate impeachment procedures, challenging Ramaphosa to defend against accusations of misconduct related to the 'Farmgate' incident.

The ANC's dominance in parliament suggests Ramaphosa is likely to withstand the process, though a final vote would require a two-thirds majority for impeachment.
