The SAPS Hawks Unit has made a breakthrough in the multi-million robbery cover-up at President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala Farm in February 2020.
The police said two people have been arrested and charged with the robbery, adding that further arrests were expected this week.Arthur Fraser, former head of the State Security Agency, claimed at least $4 million was stolen during the February 2020 breakin at the game farm.Fraser blew the whistle on the robbery cover-up, saying the bulk of the foreign currency had been stashed in sofas at the president's home.
His explanation is that the foreign currency stemmed from a legitimate sale of buffalos to Dubai-based Sudanese businessman Hazim Mustafa. The SA Reserve Bank has exonerated Ramaphosa from claims of money laundering and failure to declare foreign currency. SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter assured the nation that the tax records of Ramaphosa and his companies were in order.
