Summary

South Africa's president is facing the possibility of impeachment in a long-running scandal known as Farmgate. It involves the disappearance of over half a million dollars from Cyril Ramaposa's luxury farmhouse, which was stolen in a break-in in 2020. Ramaphosa is accused of serious violations and misconduct, and the Constitutional Court has lifted an earlier ruling that blocked proceedings. He denies any wrongdoing.
