South Africa President Ramaphosa abandons his resignation plans and will fight to keep power

in his handling of a mysterious US$580,000 cash payment from a Sudanese businessman who apparently bought buffalo from his wildlife farm. The money was stashed in a sofa at the farm and then stolen, without a proper police investigation, the inquiry found.

The issue now moves to a meeting of the ANC’s full national executive on Monday. If the executive agrees, the party can then try to deploy its parliamentary majority to quash the inquiry’s report. This court challenge may lead to a postponement of the parliamentary vote. But it still leaves Mr. Ramaphosa facing other investigations into the U.S. cash affair, including a police probe and possible investigations by tax and banking authorities. He also faces an ANC leadership conference on Dec. 16.

Church leaders voiced alarm at the situation. The conclusions of the parliamentary corruption inquiry are causing “widespread anger and disappointment” among the country’s people, the South African Council of Churches said in a statement. Some analysts said Mr. Ramaphosa can mobilize enough ANC support to keep the presidency for now – partly because the party fears a worse result in the next election without him – but he will be badly wounded and vulnerable to constant challenges from his opponents.

Sounds like a certain Canadian Prime Minister.

Of course he will.🙄😤
