President Cyril Ramaphosa is accused of concealing the theft of tens of millions of undeclared US {dollars} from his recreation farm in Limpopo.
CAPE TOWN – Cabinet is conserving mum on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s farm theft saga.
Minister within the Presidency Mondli Gungubele gave a briefing earlier on Thursday on the outcomes of Wednesday’s Cabinet assembly.
Asked about former jail boss Arthur Fraser’s allegations towards the president, Gungubele stated that Ramaphosa had taken Cabinet “into his confidence” however wouldn’t remark additional.
“It is correct to say the briefing was done, but we shouldn’t go beyond briefing because already the matter of the robbery at the president’s precinct is under the law enforcement agencies. They are actually investigating the matter, financial institutions are investigating the matter. And then the approach is let’s leave it to all those institutions until we have clarified what their outcome is going to be. Then we can cross that bridge when we reach it. That’s all can say about the president’s situation.”
