South Africa's Constitutional Court orders revival of impeachment inquiry against President Ramaphosa
South Africa's Constitutional Court ruled that parliament's December 2022 decision to block an impeachment inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa was unconstitutional and invalid. The inquiry concerns allegations that Ramaphosa failed to account for over $500,000 in cash stolen from his farmhouse in 2020, known as "Farmgate." The court ordered the independent panel's report be referred to an impeachment committee, potentially triggering fresh proceedings.
