Imanuwela David, the man alleged to be the ringleader in the robbery at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s game farm, skipped the country with the aid of two dodgy forex traders — a certain Papa J and a man named Prince. AmaBhungane’s investigation reveals ...

that he and two friends collected David in Pretoria and, though Jele paid him R20,000 for the trip, he denied knowingly being involved in a scheme to smuggle David out of the country.During the time I first met this David guy, I got a call from a friend of mine who stays in KZN and I was in JHB at the time. He called and asked for my help to get an Uber for his friend who is supposed to go to a meeting in Vioolsdrift,” said Mazibuko.

The group did not return to Gauteng with David. According to Mazibuko, David said he would stay behind because the people he was meeting had not arrived. Questions sent to the South African High Commission in Windhoek were unanswered at the time of publication.Papa J’s versionclaimed he no longer used the number in the Namibian police report and the person who answeredbacked up much of what Mazibuko told us — but his own story appeared somewhat thin in places.

Attempts to reach Shahaboodien were not successful, however, a former employee confirmed that both David and Jele had bought several “top class” vehicles from the dealership before it closed. “The only reason I agreed [to facilitate the payment] is because Prince is my friend. Had it just been an Uber driver, I would have just given him the guy’s number and not been involved,” he explained.
