South Africa president, Cyril Ramaphosa
PRETORIA, Dec 7 (NNN-AFRICANEWS) — A no-confidence motion against South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has been pushed till February next year.
The speaker of the South African parliament said the move was to allow whether the vote should be held in a secret ballot.
The motion was tabled by one of the country’s smallest opposition parties, the African Transformation Movement (ATM). The party has only two regional government representatives.
ATM was formed in 2008 and has backing from the Council of Messianic Churches in Christ (SACMCC).
The major opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA) said they will not support the motion.
Ramaphosa has been fighting to clear his name in election malpractice on campaign funding allegations.
Ramaphosa, according to South Africa’s anti-corruption watchdog, is alleged to have misled parliament about the money he received in 2017, worth more than $36,000. Ramaphosa maintains it was a donation towards his campaign for the ANC leadership. — NNN-AFRICANEWS
