Johannesburg. South Africa’s parliament has scheduled the first meeting of an impeachment committee for Monday to investigate allegations linked to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s “Farmgate” scandal, the Democratic Alliance (DA) said on Thursday.
The meeting marks the next stage in impeachment proceedings against Ramaphosa, revived earlier this month by the Constitutional Court in a setback for the president, for whom the scandal has remained a major embarrassment.
Ramaphosa has denied wrongdoing in the affair, in which bundles of cash were stolen from a sofa at his farm in 2020, raising questions about the source of the money and why it had been hidden in furniture.
