South African Parliament Delays Vote On Ramaphosa Scandal Report

A parliamentary sitting set to debate a damning report that found that South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa may have violated the constitution has been postponed by a week. <br />The report says Mr Ramaphosa allegedly covered up a theft at his farm. He has denied any wrongdoing and his spokesman says the report was flawed. <br />Parliament’s programming committee met on Monday night and unanimously agreed to hold the debate on 13 December to allow members of parliament to travel to Cape Town where parliament sits. <br />The president had on Monday moved to court to seek an order declaring any steps taken by parliament following the release of the report as invalid and unlawful.
