A South African parliamentary committee will hold two days of meetings to deliberate on rules to deal with the removal of a president.
On Dec. 29, the country’s top court found that parliament had failed to hold President Jacob Zuma to account for his role in a scandal involving the misuse of public funds on his private home and ordered it to draft rules governing the circumstances under which he could be removed from office.
