DA Pushes for Review of Ramaphosa's 'Farmgate' Scandal Decision

The Democratic Alliance (DA), a key coalition partner of the African National Congress (ANC), has called for a review of prosecutors' decision not to charge South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in connection with the 'Farmgate' scandal.

This incident, involving money laundering and corruption allegations, nearly cost the President his job two years ago. Ramaphosa, who denies any wrongdoing, was previously cleared of conflict of interest by the anti-corruption watchdog.

Although the ANC rallied behind Ramaphosa to prevent impeachment, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) continue to seek accountability, now turning to the constitutional court to push for impeachment proceedings.
