The possible impeachment of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been left hanging – at least for the time being – after he sent for judicial review an interim report saying he “may” have a case to answer, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party has decided.

As a result, the ANC national executive said it could not rationally proceed with a parliamentary impeachment process.
