South Africa: President Ramaphosa cleared in farmgate scandal

South African government watchdog has cleared President Cyril Ramaphosa of any wrongdoing related to a theft at his farm.

The scandal erupted in June last year when a former spy boss, Arthur Fraser, alleged that President Ramaphosa had concealed the theft of millions of dollars in cash from his game farm in Limpopo province three years ago.

An investigation by the ombudswoman, also known as the public protector, found that his handling of the case was not in violation of the constitution.
