The National Executive Committee of South Africa’s governing ANC party met this Monday to consider the future of President Cyril Ramaphosa.
This was after a parliamentary report accused Ramaphosa of misconduct and potentially violating the oath of office.
Public Protector of South Africa’s inquiry relates to findings that large sums of foreign currency were hidden at Ramaphosa’s private game farm and he failed to report the money missing when it was stolen in 2020.
In a statement seen by Pindula News, ANC NEC said Ramaphosa attended the meeting and was allowed to recuse himself. Reads the statement:
