South African Court Postpones Hearing in Ramaphosa 'Farmgate' Scandal

Three suspects accused of stealing cash from President Cyril Ramaphosa's farm face charges as impeachment calls resurface.

The case against three individuals accused of stealing $580,000 from President Ramaphosa's game farm has been postponed until November 26.
The alleged theft, which occurred in 2020, was reported by former spy chief Arthur Fraser in 2022, leading to accusations of money laundering and corruption against Ramaphosa.
President Ramaphosa has denied any wrongdoing, and investigations by the anti-corruption watchdog cleared him of conflict of interest.
Despite surviving an impeachment vote in 2022, two opposition parties are seeking to revive proceedings in South Africa's highest court.
The scandal contributed to the African National Congress losing its majority in the 2024 elections, prompting a coalition government.
