JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Sunday he would seek an urgent judicial review of a report in which the country's graft watchdog concluded that he misled parliament over a campaign donation.

Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's report followed an investigation by the watchdog into a 500,000 rand (28,707.44 pounds) donation to Ramaphosa's 2017 campaign for the leadership of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) from the CEO of Bosasa, a services company.
