South Africa's African National Congress, the largest party in the country's coalition Government of National Unity, has rallied behind President Cyril Ramaphosa amid renewed scrutiny over the Phala Phala scandal. Speaking ahead of a special meeting of the ANC's top leadership in Cape Town, Secretary General Fikile Mbalula said any decision on Ramaphosa's future would rest with the party, insisting no one would remove the president unless the ANC agreed. The meeting was called after South Africa's Constitutional Court overturned Parliament's rejection of a report into the theft of more than half-a-million US dollars from President Ramaphosa's private farm in 2020. The president did not attend the gathering. Ntebo Mokobo reports
