The entrance to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala game farm, from where hundreds of thousands of dollars were stolen.
An advocate opposing President Cyril Ramaphosa’s application to set aside a Section 89 report argued that cash stolen from his Phala Phala farm was hidden in a couch to conceal alleged paid work.
The Western Cape High Court is hearing Ramaphosa’s application to overturn the independent panel’s November 2022 finding that there was sufficient evidence for Parliament to investigate four possible impeachment charges.
“If you’re engaged in concealing money in a couch, you are doing so because you don’t want to fall foul of the contravention of other paid work,” African Transformation Movement (ATM) advocate Kessler Perumalsamy told the court yesterday.
“The source of the money is the key that shows that you have done other paid work.”
