Former spy boss Arthur Fraser has laid criminal charges against President Cyril Ramaphosa for the alleged theft of millions of dollars.
In a statement, Fraser says there is evidence to support the charges, including photographs, bank accounts, video footage and names that accompany his police statement.
Fraser filed the charges at the Rosebank Police Station, on Wednesday, 1 June.
Amongst the charges levelled against the president, are kidnapping, defeating the ends of justice and bribery.
Ramaphosa has been accused of the theft of an estimated $4 million (R62 million), which was allegedly held on his Limpopo farm.
Fraser claims that not only was the money stolen with the president’s knowledge but that he withheld this from relevant authorities.

“The charges emanate from the theft of millions of US dollars, (in excess of four million US dollars) concealed withing the premises of the President’s Phala Phala farm in Waterberg, Limpopo, by criminals who were colluding with his domestic worker. They also include defeating the ends of justice, kidnapping of suspects, their interrogation on his property and bribery.”
Arthur Fraser alleges that the burglary took place on 09 February 2020.
He goes onto to accuse the president of paying the culprits of the theft for their silence.
“The President concealed the crime from the South African Police Service and/or South African Revenue Service (SARS) and thereafter paid the culprits for their silence. The evidence I provide shows that the said burglary took place on 9 February 2020. This conduct of the President and those involved constitutes a breach of, inter alia, the Prevention of Organized Crime Act, No. 121 of 1998 (“POCA”) and the Prevention of Corruption Activities Act No. 12 of 2004,” Fraser said.
