South African Parliament Votes Against Impeaching Ramaphosa over Hidden Money Scandal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In South Africa, lawmakers have voted against impeaching President Cyril
Ramaphosa over a report that says he hid undeclared, stolen money at his
game farm. The report prompted calls by opponents for Ramaphosa to
resign, but lawmakers from the ruling African National Congress party
mostly supported the president in their vote. It comes as Ramaphosa will
seek reelection as leader of the ANC at its national conference starting
Friday.
