King Charles III next week hosts his first state visit as monarch, welcoming South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and his wife to Buckingham Palace.
LONDON, United Kingdom —
The pomp of the major diplomatic event will be clouded by events in South Africa, where Ramaphosa risks impeachment for allegedly covering up a crime. Climate change, trade and Charles’s vision for the Commonwealth will also likely be high on the agenda, Vandome said.His state visit comes more than a decade after the last by a South African leader, when Jacob Zuma came to the UK in 2010.
Heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Kate, Princess of Wales, will take him to join Charles and Camilla for a ceremonial military welcome. In a symbolic moment, the South African leader on Tuesday will view a memorial stone for Mandela, installed in Westminster Abbey in 2018 on the centenary of his birth.
A scandal in which Ramaphosa is accused of concealing a multi-million dollar cash theft has piled pressure on him.He faces an accusation that he failed to report a heist at his luxury cattle farmhouse in which robbers took $4 million in cash and instead organised for the robbers to be kidnapped and bribed into silence.
