The public protector’s investigators could not find evidence showing that Ramaphosa was “actively involved in the day-to-day operations of Ntaba Nyoni or Phala Phala farm”. In the same month, the South African Revenue Service also cleared Ramaphosa and his companies — Ntaba Nyoni Estate, a sprawling 5 100 hectare livestock farm, and Ntaba Nyoni Feedlot — finding that they were compliant with tax obligations.
Fraser submitted that about $4 million had been stolen and that the money had been concealed in a sofa that was transported from the Hyde Park home of presidential adviser Bejani Chauke to the game farm. It was, he alleged, part of a small fortune in secret donations Chauke had smuggled into the country from Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt and Equatorial Guinea.
