President Cyril Ramphosa, head of the A.N.C., avoided impeachment on Tuesday, but allegations of corruption continue to swirl
outh Africa’s parliament voted not to proceed with impeachment proceedings against President Cyril Ramphosa on Tuesday.
A two-thirds majority is required to begin impeachment proceedings. Tuesday’s vote was expected to go Ramaphosa’s way as A.N.C. leadership had instructed its lawmakers—who hold 230 of 400 seats in parliament—to support him. While four A.N.C. Parliament members voted in favor of impeachment and a few others were absent from the vote, it did not sway the final tally. In total, lawmakers voted 214 to 148 against the move.
A particular detail that has caught public attention is that in a “bizarre” move, the money was allegedly stuffed inside a couch and not kept in a safe, says Pierre de Vos, a professor at University of Cape Town.
