South African president says he will not step down after impeachment call
✦ AI Brief
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that he will legally challenge a report that could lead to impeachment proceedings against him. The report, related to the Phala Phala scandal, found prima facie evidence of serious misconduct in Ramaphosa's handling of the matter. He has denied wrongdoing, claiming the money came from the sale of buffalo from his farm. Ramaphosa will ask the courts to review and set aside the report, which he argues relied on hearsay evidence. He remains in office and has stated that he is not resigning.
