South Africa’s President CYRIL RAMAPHOSA is facing the most embarrassing period of his young presidency following leaked bank statements that revealed names of donors, as well as people who received money from his CR17 fundraising campaign.

It was set up to help him become African National Congress leader two years ago.

Two opposition MPs from the Economic Freedom Fighters whose names appeared in the bank statements widely shared on social media, resigned after admitting to receiving funds from the CR17 campaign.
