South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is considering resigning before the expiry of his term in office.
This development came days after an advisory panel investigating a burglary scandal at his farm revealed that he may have went against the constitution.
Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa, born 17 November 1952, is a South African businessman and politician who is the current and fifth democratically elected president of South Africa.
He took oath of office on 18 November 2018.
Local news sources reported that people linked with the case, sought anonymity for security reasons.
They argued that the head of state is in meetings with his advisors to know fate of the matter.
South African Parliament is set to review the findings and know whether to to on with impeachment procedures next week, just days before Ramaphosa appears before a mandatory internal party election.
The President is anticipated to face the panel on Thursday.
The three-person panel formed in September to investigate the alleged theft at president Ramaphosa's farmhouse said in its findings that the information it collected showed Ramaphosa may have violated the constitution.
For instance not filing the theft as per the constitution requirements, acting in a way not spelt in the country's laws.
Commenting on the findings, Mr Ramaphosa dismissed the information.
