Ramaphosa must sign new laws for South Africa before it’s too late

• South Africa must enshrine its reform process in law to guarantee the momentum gained under President Cyril Ramaphosa endures after he leaves office.
• Investors have warmed to Africa’s largest economy as reforms begin to bear fruit, most visibly with the end of almost daily power cuts as the state-owned electricity utility improves its performance.
• Ramaphosa faces a potential parliamentary impeachment process over a 2022 cash-in-sofa scandal that he’s challenging in court, which could weaken his ability to steer the selection of his successor toward someone who will continue reforms.
