The African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa has rescheduled a crucial National Executive Committee meeting concerning President Cyril Ramaphosa's 'Farmgate' scandal. Initially set for Tuesday evening, the meeting was postponed to Wednesday due to inclement weather in Cape Town, a party spokesperson confirmed.

In an unfolding controversy known as the 'Farmgate' scandal, President Ramaphosa is under pressure following revelations of foreign currency theft from a couch on his ranch by thieves in 2020. The situation escalated as South Africa's constitutional court recently revived impeachment proceedings against Ramaphosa.

This political turbulence has fueled discussions about leadership and accountability within the ANC, as pressure mounts on Ramaphosa to resign amidst calls from various quarters.
