President Cyril Ramaphosa told the nation in a televised address Monday that he will not resign over the Phala Phala farm cash scandal, after South Africa’s Constitutional Court last week revived impeachment proceedings against him and ordered Parliament to re-examine the allegations. Parliament announced plans the following day to establish an impeachment committee to reinvestigate the matter. Ramaphosa said he would contest the report that criticised his handling of the 2020 robbery at his Phala Phala farm and rejected the calls to step down.
