The South African parliament says President Cyril Ramaphosa will no longer answer questions from lawmakers on Thursday because he wants a postponement to consider the contents of an inquiry about his conduct.

Mr Ramaphosa’s critics accuse him of having covered up a burglary at his farm nearly three years ago.

He denies wrongdoing but faces the possibility of impeachment.

An independent panel appointed by the speaker of parliament found Mr Ramaphosa may have committed serious breaches of the constitution, violated an anti-corruption law, and acted in a way inconsistent with his office.

The report will be taken up in parliament when it meets next week.
