You may have noticed #Phalaphalafarmgate blowing up the trends. There have been allegations of possible money laundering leveled against President Cyril Ramaphosa. In a media briefing held on Tuesday, June 21, at the Democratic Alliance headquarters, leader John Steenhuisen announced that the party had written to the FBI to investigate the stolen money.
The burglary happened at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm. Steenhuisen shared that the president was being asked to take the nation into his confidence by the opposition. Steenhuisen said,
“Specifically, we have requested that the FBI considers investigating the source of the funds and whether the money was brought into South Africa legitimately and declared to the appropriate authorities.” He revealed that there were questions for the president and those who stole the money at his home.
He continued, “We have recommended that the ledgers or journals which would have recorded the alleged sale of wild game at auction be requested from the president, for determine the identities of those involved in the suspicious cash transactions.” He stressed that cash transactions of over $4 million within South Africa is “deeply suspicious.” More so, it being hidden in furniture and its theft being investigated off-the-record is even more suspicious.
