(Bloomberg) -- South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s lawyers are preparing a court challenge against an advisory panel report that said there may be grounds for his impeachment, as governing party officials continue talks on how to respond to the ...

Ramaphosa considered quitting after the panel said he may have committed serious misconduct and constitutional violations because of the way he handled the theft of at least $580,000 stashed in a sofa at his game farm in 2020.

ANC spokesman Pule Mabe didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment sent by text message. The NWC talks were a precursor to a Monday meeting of the ANC’s National Executive Committee, which will ultimately determine the party’s response.Ramaphosa told reporters after making a brief appearance at the NWC meeting that his fate lay in the hands of the NEC.

That parliamentary process would however be derailed should Ramaphosa win his case to have the panel’s findings overturned in court. Pierre de Vos and Richard Calland, who are law professors at the University of Cape Town, have each written that the president has a chance of winning the case.
