MPs at a special sitting of South Africa's parliament voted to reject a move to begin impeachment proceedings against President Cyril Ramaphosa. The president was accused of covering up the theft of a large sum of foreign currency from his farm in 2020, some of which had been hidden in a sofa. The debate before the vote focussed on an independent report which concluded he may have violated the constitution.The African National Congress had told its MPs to block a possible impeachment - although four members broke ranks and sided with opposition parties to accept the report and let impeachment proceedings start.Now that Mr Ramaphosa has survived the vote, he is thought likely to win re-election at his party's conference, which starts on Friday.
