1 December 2022 at 03:56 South Africa’s president risks impeachment for corruption President Cyril Ramaphosa risks impeachment following revelations of theft, corruption and abuse of power following a break-in at his farm. An independent investigative report obtained by the BBC will show that Ramaphosa abused his power and that he may have broken the country’s anti-corruption laws. The scandal known as “Farmgate” started with a break-in and theft of $4 million in cash from the farm. Ramaphosa is said to have then attempted to bribe the thieves into silence. The president himself says that the money came from the sale of buffalo, and he denies having done anything illegal. The report was handed to the Speaker of the Parliament on Wednesday. Next week, the elected representatives will vote on whether Ramaphosa should be prosecuted.
