South Africa Parliament to Decide Ramaphosa’s Fate

12/05/2022 17

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s fate could be determined as the executive committee of the governing party meets to discuss allegations.

A parliamentary inquiry, which Monday’s executive committee meeting will discuss, relates to findings that large sums of foreign currency were hidden at Ramaphosa’s private game farm.

The case, which has piled pressure on the president amid heightened tensions within the governing African National Congress party, stems from a police report filed by former national spy boss Arthur Fraser last month.

The President has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crimes.
