What is, is the Phala Phala farm scandal?

According to TimesLive, in June, former spy boss Arthur Fraser filed criminal charges against South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the Rosebank police station for his alleged involvement in the theft of millions of US dollars from his Phala Phala farm in Waterberg.

The theft was reportedly concealed by criminals colluding with Ramaphosa's domestic worker. According to Fraser, Ramaphosa did not report the crime to the authorities, hiding it from them.

Ramaphosa's spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, confirmed the theft but refuted the allegations of the President's involvement. Magwenya stated that upon being informed of the robbery, the President reported the incident to the head of the Presidential Protection Unit of the police service for investigation. He also affirmed that the President is willing to collaborate with any law-enforcement investigation of the matter.
