South African lawmakers are to examine the findings of the panel, which they appointed.On December 6, a resolution will be made by the lawmakers through a simple majority vote, on whether to impeach the president Ramaphosa or not.

This could lead to a vote to remove the president. To be successful, any such vote would require the approval by two-thirds of assembly . President Ramaphosa who has recently been to our country where they announce visa-free regime for Kenyans with ordinary passport for up to 90 days may also face the law after impeachment.President Cyril took over from Jacob Zuma.
