Some of the people who are offshore customers and who are sometimes local, come through and buy animals and some come also to hunt on the farm,” he said. The project of unity and renewal is well led under president Ramaphosa. Lead us Matamela, we love you.” The Eastern Cape, which also endorsed Ramaphosa for a second term, remains the second-largest province in terms of wards, after KwaZulu-Natal. Sometimes people buy these animals and some of the people who buy these animals are here.

Closing the provincial conference of the African National Congress in Limpopo, Ramaphosa spoke out for the first time about criminal charges laid against him by ...

He was referring to the fact that amid ongoing infighting within the ANC, and firm action being initiated against some top leaders accused of corruption, allegations and counter-allegations are being leveled on a regular basis as candidates jockey for positions at the ANC elective conference scheduled to take place in a few months’ time. “I will continue to fight corruption.

A large quantity of cash in US$ was stolen from President Cyril Ramaphosa's game farm in Limpopo in February. He failed to report this to the public, ...

His supporters will argue that there is no other credible leader of the ANC, and that a big difference between Zuma and Ramaphosa is the people appointed to head institutions. Was this revenue reported to SARS? Was the Reserve Bank informed about both the transaction that resulted in the payment of these dollars, and when? This entire issue also casts a light on the role of people in our intelligence services in our politics. In the middle of all of this, it has already been seen, truth has become a major casualty. This will attack not just him, but his supporters and journalists perceived to be not critical enough of Ramaphosa; they will say anyone who criticised Zuma should now also demand Ramaphosa’s removal. Of course, this points to the political motive. Last week the Presidency confirmed Fraser’s claim that foreign currency had been stolen from his farm in Limpopo, and that he had not reported to the public. He faces serious allegations and there is zero doubt that he is stoking this fire solely for his political agenda of helping RET return to full control of the ANC and thus, South Africa, especially its security cluster. They spoke to a separate source at Ramaphosa’s farm who appeared to confirm that a woman was kept in a room for two days, against her will, while being questioned by people who appear to be police officers. But Fraser is not the only source of these claims. Why was cash being kept on the farm in the first place? Unless this is handled correctly, it can potentially derail his stated ANC renewal agenda, with serious repercussions for the ruling party’s prospects of retaining power after the 2024 national elections.

Phala Phala wildlife: Ramaphosa's stud breeding activities include an exclusive stud herd of 'Ankole' cattle originating from Uganda.

Ramaphosa was away in Ethiopia on African Union business at the time of the robbery but said he’d reported the crime to the Presidential Protection Unit, which forms part of the Saps. Fraser’s explosive 48-page affidavit to the Rosebank police details how a cleaner on the farm discovered an excess of $4 million in cash in the president’s Phala Phala residence. Phala Phala is a ‘rare game’ breeding program that contributes to the extension and deepening of South Africa’s conservation efforts, particularly the preservation of South Africa’s wildlife heritage.
