South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing calls to step down after a parliamentary panel’s investigation found he may have breached anti-corruption laws in connection with the alleged theft of a large amount of money from his farm.

The calls follow allegations by the country’s former head of intelligence, Arthur Fraser, that Mr Ramaphosa tried to conceal the theft of a huge sum of cash stuffed into couches at his Phala Phala game farm in 2020.
