In today’s instalment of the Sunday Times Politics Weekly, we look at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s predicament in the wake of the scandal over a burglary at his Phala Phala farm two years ago.

The controversy which has been dubbed 'Farmgate', 'Mattressgate' and 'Dollargate', now threatens to topple the ANC.
