Ramaphosa and Geingob avoid Phala Phala in bilateral talks

Earlier, justice minister Ronald Lamola told journalists the investigation into the 2020 theft of foreign currency from Ramaphosa's farm had hit a snag.  

Several law-enforcement agencies are investigating the matter. The money came from the sale of buffalo to a Sudanese businessman.

In a statement released in June 2020, the government said it had closely followed media reports and a statement by the Namibian police force concerning a request for mutual legal assistance in respect of David Imanuwela, the alleged mastermind behind the robbery, who they had apprehended. 

“We received a request. The request was not compliant with our own laws in relation to mutual legal assistance,” Lamola said.
