South African president Cyril Ramaphosa is the owner of Phala Phala Farm. In 2022, he was caught up in a heavy political scandal as Arthur Fraser, the former head of the State Security Agency, laid a criminal complaint against him regarding the Phala Phala robbery of which $4 million (R60 million) was allegedly stolen.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ramaphosa faced possible impeachment in late 2022 after it came to light that a robbery took place at his farm in February 2020 and a large amount of foreign currency was alleged to have been stolen at the farm. He, however, maintained his innocence, stating that he didn’t do any wrong as he had no part in the crime.
