A scandal that led South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to consider resigning four years ago has come back to haunt him. The case revolves around the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars that robbers found stuffed in a couch at his game farm. An independent panel found in 2022 that the president’s handling of the burglary may have been unlawful. Parliament rejected the report at the time, effectively blocking an official hearing — a decision the Constitutional Court has now ruled illegal.
