A South African Court has cleared President Cyril Ramaphosa over allegations around a donation of more than $36,000.
A controversial private firm, Bosasa, had made the donation towards Mr Ramaphosa's campaign for the leadership of the African National Congress in 2017.
The South African court ruled that Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane showed a lack of knowledge of the law and did not have the power to investigate the donation.
The ruling was a major boost for Mr Ramaphosa and is expected to strengthen calls for Ms Mkhwebane's removal from office.
