Members of South Africa’s parliament have voted against starting an impeachment process against President Cyril Ramaphosa, the speaker of parliament annouunced on Tuesday.
Aljazeera reports that lawmakers voted to reject a report by a panel of experts that found preliminary evidence Ramaphosa may have committed misconduct over a stash of foreign currency hidden at his private game farm.
Ramaphosa has denied wrongdoing over the scandal.
He has challenged the report in court and not been charged with any crime, but some opponents have called for his resignation.
