South African President Cyril Ramaphosa rejected calls to resign and vowed to challenge a report criticizing his handling of a robbery at his farm in 2020, after the nation’s top court resurrected the scandal.

“I will not resign,” he said in a televised address on Monday. “To do so would be to give credence to a panel report that unfortunately has grave flaws.”
