South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's Future Uncertain After Damning Report
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing mounting calls to
resign and could face impeachment, after an independent investigation
found he may have broken anti-corruption laws. The case involves the
alleged theft of millions of dollars from Ramaphosa's private game farm,
which he is accused of covering up and then stashing some of the cash in
a leather sofa. Ramaphosa maintains he reported the theft and that the
money found in the sofa was actually from the sale of buffaloes from his
farm. South Africa's ruling African National Congress is meeting today
to discuss Ramaphosa's fate.
