South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been cleared of charges of misconduct and betraying his office in a burglary scandal that occurred in 2020, according to the country's Ombudsman. The scandal involved the theft of $580,000 in cash from one of Ramaphosa's properties. The former head of intelligence had accused him of concealing the theft and buying the silence of the burglars, leading to suspicions of money laundering and corruption. The Ombudsman found that Ramaphosa's behavior was not contrary to the Constitution and that he had not breached the relevant provisions of the law.
