South Africa Rejects Impeachment Inquiry of President

JOHANNESBURG — Lawmakers from South Africa’s governing African National Congress put their weight behind President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday, rejecting an effort to proceed with an impeachment inquiry over accusations that he broke the law in his response to the theft of a large sum of U.S. currency from his farm.

The vote essentially kills an effort to remove Mr. Ramaphosa from office and lifts his political prospects just three days before the start of a national conference for his party, the A.N.C., at which he is expected to face a grueling battle to win a second term as party leader.

The A.N.C. holds 230 of the 400 seats in Parliament, and his opponents fell far short of the 31 members of the governing party they needed to get above the 50 percent threshold required to proceed with the impeachment process.
