South African president mounts legal challenge against report that could lead to impeachment

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has started a legal challenge against a report that could lead to impeachment proceedings against him. The report, commissioned by parliament, alleged that Ramaphosa might have committed serious misconduct relating to the theft of large sums of cash hidden in a sofa at his private farm. Ramaphosa denies any wrongdoing and argues that the report was based on misconceptions and misinterpretations of the evidence. The impeachment process has been ongoing, with a committee formed to decide whether there are grounds to start proceedings.
