South African president Jacob Zuma facing impeachment after court ruling

South African president Jacob Zuma "failed to uphold" the constitution when he did not pay back some of the millions of dollars in state funds used to upgrade his home, the country's Constitutional Court has ruled.

The ruling could significantly weaken the leader, who is fending off multiple accusations of alleged misconduct at the highest levels of government, although he still retains the support of powerful factions in his party, the African National Congress (ANC).
