Breytenbach, Adv G to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether the National Prosecuting Authority is conducting investigations into any matters related to the theft of an estimated $4 million from the Phala Phala game farm of the President of the Republic, Mr M C Ramaphosa; if so, what (a) are the relevant details and (b) is the current status of each investigation?
Reply:
The National Prosecuting Authority is not conducting criminal investigations on the allegations of theft of an estimated $4 million at the Phala Phala game farm. Such investigations are conducted by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations (DPCI).
The Office of the relevant Director of Public Prosecutions will commence assessing the evidence once the case docket is formally handed over by the DPCI.
