Fitch Ratings believes Ramaphosa will remain in office, despite establishment of impeachment committee on Phala Phala matter

# Fitch Ratings believes president Cyril Ramaphosa will remain in office, despite establishment of Parliament impeachment committee on Phala Phala matter set up last month. It expects the ANC with 40-percent of seats in Parliament will remain supportive of the President.  Fitch Ratings says tensions within the ANC and the government of national unity are likely to increase, with the upcoming local government elections in November being a pressure point. However, it expects the GNU to hold together for its full term.
