BREAKING | 'I've not stolen taxpayers money' - Ramaphosa claims innocence amid farm burglary charges

Parliament is looking to house physical meetings of the National Assembly in a"modular structure".

A 16-year-old Mpumalanga teenager has been arrested for allegedly murdering her two-week-old baby and stuffing the body in her school bag. The police’s statistics show that 4653 of the 10 818 rapes recorded between January and March this year occurred in the home of either the victim or the perpetrator. Police stations in Lusikisiki in the Eastern cape, Inanda in KwaZulu-Natal and Delft in the Western Cape recorded the highest incidents of rapes reported for the first quarter of 2022.

In just three months, 6 083 people were murdered in South Africa. The high number of murders between January and March this year represents a 22% increase from the same period last year when 4 976 murders were recorded. Two senior admin clerks at a Free State court have been arrested for allegedly defrauding the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development of R1 million. The fraud allegedly took place over a two-year period.

He was joined by the Minister in the Presidency as well as the Ministers of Police, Justice and Correctional Services, and Defence and Military Veterans. "She allegedly enticed the complainant who was looking for property into buying. The complainant paid R2.2 million for the property and when the complainant went past the property, he noticed that the house was being renovated," Hawks spokesperson Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo said on Thursday.

A statement widely circulated on social media on Wednesday afternoon, issued in Fraser's name, stated the complaint related to the alleged theft of"in excess of four million US dollars" from Ramaphosa's farm in Limpopo.

The funniest part is that Tony Jailbird Yengeni is asking he stands aside.

Not declaring forex and withholding associated tax gained from trading in foreign funds IS stealing from the taxpayer.

Who said he stole taxpayers money

He might not have stolen taxpayers money. But not paying tax on his profitable dealings is the same. By know he should have submitted his tax returns for 2021. Let us see this returns and the assessment done on them. Or did he get special treatment not to submit his tax returns .

Malemas chance to prove and attack this corruption.

Is the President allowed to have this millions in his house... moneylaundering

Just because he didn't steal peoples money doesn't mean he didn't commit a crime,money laundering,and also he used a detective who works for the government to investigate a case without a case number which means he stole from us, the biggest question here is,why didn't he open it

Who asked you that

Did he pay tax on that CASH? How much cash can someone 'own' Was this CASH declared

Mmmm 🚬 … I’m a virgin however I’m a prostitute…..

Is this really BREAKING NEWS?

But PresidencyZA nobody accused you of stealing state money. What I could not understand is a farm that is selling animals does not have a safe. Or was the safe full such that some money was concealed in the furniture?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ngathi nani senisangene manje, angazi ukuthi nizothini, ziphukuphuku

Who accused pres Escobar of stealing?

White people's sweetheart 🤣🤣

But you evaded paying tax?

No body says you stolen money your fool.

you just havent paid tax, therefore you have the country, which is something the anc has done for 27 years

But Mr President, you lie for a living. If you did nothing wrong why the cover up

He should just go tell his parent that nonsense.

He just confessed

Yes, he has not stolen tax payer’s money, but he has broken the law!

You never did wena my president. Futhi who asked you vele?

Nobody accused him of stealing

Who said he stole taxpayers money?

If I read Arthur’s document, there is nothing on THEFT by the President.

No one mentioned tax payers money, money laundering is an issue here

No one said anything about tax payers money. Why is he volunteering information that no one asked for?

South africa welcome any amount of foreign currency comes into the country for different purposes,business, leisure,investment,is good for our economy,regardless of who has it individual or group,company or trust,judging the matter without a solid & true side of the story ì wrong

How is this even a breaking story?

😳😳😳😳😳😡😡

So as robbing a bank,

[BREAKING]. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who asked him that?

Doos

CyrilRamaphosa Mister President, the organization you lead and have been a senior leader of for many years has stolen billions upon billions in tax and driven this country into the ground and the vulnerable to starvation, so how can you say you havent stolen from the taxpayers?

President do the honourable thing resign and go back to your business, this thing of public office don't suit your lifestyle. Why squeeze yourself when you can be free and enjoy your wealth

Police : Did you rob this bank? Suspect. I did not smoke weed.

It may not be TPs money but ibuyaphi? The fact that you had to hide so much money from authorities says a lot about your ethics Did you declare it in your parliamentary register?

can someone tell this twit ..we never said he stole the money ...we said he never declared it as earnings .. stupid chop

Says the man who said in front of the world press that there is no xenophobia or farm murders in South Africa. 🙄

We’re not talking stealing. We’re talking transgressing FIC Act 38 of 2001 (I think). You can’t have large sums of foreign currency undeclared. Can you not see how Pablo Escobar that is O Tsotsi Wena. Get out!

So whose money did you steal? CyrilRamaphosa

It is our first time hearing that Ramaphosa took taxpayers money but what's more interesting is we hear this from him, what a great informer.

In a court of law is right platform for the president to prove his innocence

At the end of hus term it will also be the end you, you report biased nonsense. Nobody said he stole tax money

He didn't steal tax but evaded it by keeping s much of cash.

I like the way he specifically says “taxpayers money” so therefore he stole someone else’s money just not tax money 🤦‍♂️

Will he stand down until this issue is resolved..?

He must explain that to the courts not us

😂 who said he stole taxpayer money?

aka HOUDINI

Cyril CupCake aka SAn Pablo Escobar 😂

Isela ngempela leli! Hiding behind Private money like that CR17 money!

Doing what u do best Ramaphosas protector Who said he stole Tax payers money

It's not about tax payers money but where the money is coming from for us to trust him as a president.

The only thing that's BREAKING are the thugs at Phala Phala farm

Who said anything about tax payers money......maybe glencore kickbacks

I wonder who said he stole or is stealing, we waiting for the day he will take us to his conference and tell us the whole truth nothing but the truth

Explain 🫵 a person entering SA can only bring $10000 in cash. That’s a whole lot of people that sat on your sofa

Arthur Fraser didn't say he taxpayers money

We wouldn't have courts or jails if every thief had his word as fact.

Who accused him of stealing taxpayers money?

We are not stupids like kleva blacks

We never said you stole the public money No we saying explain how did you manage $4m in you house

His a thief.

Says the oke who has got numerous deals and contracts due to the colour of his skin and contacts. I would call that stealing

Who made that call

Nobody said anything about tax payers money. We are talking about money laundering

Hebanna tax payer money 💵 Ukhuluma ngani lomdala wenu Ranko

Cyril Escobar is it?

But is tax evasion not stealing ... You know what!? Nevermind.

Kak!

Who sad he stole money?

Hi

What about the 54billions taxpayer's worsted in just 3 yr's at SAA that u nd your pravin told the population it was killed with the so called state capture sir🤷‍♂️.at the end you sold it for free and got shares🤷‍♂️. Jz spend 7billions in 10yr and didn't sale it🤞so jz was innocent

CyrilRamaphosa & PresidencyZA the people of South Africa demand and have a right to know!!!

Prove it in court.

CyrilRamaphosa when the poor and the hungry come for you, no army and no police force can hold back nor protect you from the fury and the anger of the people of SA that you abandoned. You are on borrowed time my friend. PresidencyZA

CyrilRamaphosa let the court decide, in our eyes u are guilty until proven innocent. Criminal charges are laid against u. Step aside - u are suffocating us!

What's Breaking news ngalento

😂

Stop defending your boy and give us facts. Did you even do any investigation since thr news broke?

He is going into full Zuma mode

Hau News 24 your reporting is in Question, so taxpayers money comes in dollars now, you have the audacity to report this😂😂

And the Gadafi biljoene?

no one said it was taxpayers money...why is he trying to divert his criminal behavior..he had R60m stolen from his property and decided not report it? the only time you dont report stolen money is when that money is proceeds of crime..R60m is a lot on money not 2 b reported

You stole that money Cyril.

your president is answering thing that he was never accused of

Where or who is the source of this foreign currency US dollars? Bribes from USA,Glencore His eyes says it all.Even from the begining of his presidency.

They are all corrupt, one way or the other, if you don't see positive change in a country and those in government still living lavish lifestyles, it means they chose greed over intergrity and humanity a long time ago

SAReserveBank how is the investigation going?

So then disclose the source of the cash. Shouldn't be a problem then?

Ramaphosa should know better that as the President there is no such thing as private life. When a President steals it doesn't matter what was stolen is tax money or private money. Trust is at stake here. Can taxpayers Trust a President who is a Thief with their money?

👇

Are the charges relating to public money?

Who said you STOLE Pres? The quitness of political leaders on CRIME IN OUR COUNTRY TELLS HOW DEEP THEIR DIRTY FILTHY HANDS ARE DEEP IN THE JAR,LE BODILE ROTTEN SHAM GREEDY SELFISH USELESS BONELESS HEADS CREATURES! THE POOR NATION IS SUFFERING BUT MILLIONS ARE HIDDEN IN FARMS SIES

Where is the money coming from?

We are not saying cyril ramaphosa stole taxpayers money, we are simple asking where did he get those millions, did he declare, does sars know about it. We are asking simple questions here.

You'll always defend Cyril

Good thing that no one is accusing him of stealing money. Meaning he just admitting to his crime.

According to News Reports, Arthur Fraser never said the President stole Tax payers' money. Is the President hiding something? Why is he defending himself? Why didn't he report the case to the police?

Who said he has?

But that's not the issue here🤣

This must some kind of a joke . what a turbulent relationship we have with guy 😂😂😂

Thecourt will deside ...even though we know which side they are..our judiciary is dead 🤔

Lol 😂 ok step aside

No one ever accused him of stealing from tax payers. Why is he a answering questions we never asked

Ramaphosa must Fall

Not declaring taxable income is stealing taxpayers money. Hiding millions in your mattress is money laundering.

Did he understand the question?

I highly recommend AmelieBtc1 as the number 1 trader. With her I am profiting from my investment weekly. I highly recommend AmelieBtc1

Where is he getting that money, is it not the share of that R500 billions for Covid?

Criminal

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But your organization stole taxpayer's money, you said so yourself, and since you always say its collective responsibility, by extension you have stolen from taxpayers.

U media people are evil just like the man you protecting...

Whose money did he steal then?

You stole it.. It was not declared to SARS, that money is from poachers of our beautiful indigenous animals that you are finishing off because you handlers gave you farms for writing a constitution that favored them, our people got nothing!! You stole that money!!

Donor money ? Covid relief ?

But that's not the issue.

Come on this cant be breaking news

Le molato la ikahlola

Diversion …diversion…🙄

CyrilRamaphosa So tell us where it came from? And why cash? Why wasn’t the crime reported? You hold the highest public office in the country and this occurred while you hold that office!! You have a duty to be transparent about your dealings. If you’re actually a leader.

Its not about steeling tax payers money Mr. President its bout the amount of foreign Cash you had in your possession 100x the legal amount that's what its about if it was any body else they would have been arrested

😅 definitely going the extra mile trying to defend Rama.

The hit dog yelps. Who accused him of stealing taxpayers money? 😂

So he stole money, just not from tax payers. 🤔🤨

Why was the robbery kept a secret and not reported to police

We are here for “Money Laundering “

Sbo said it was tax payers? Playing dumb once again.

We know Mr Pres

BREAKING🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂udakiwe yini? He must tell the court that

Politicians like denying what is not alleged and be evasive with the actual allegations.....

Skelm poes

In short: the money that was stolen came from the side hustle and kickbacks

It’s coming to the surface. You can run but you cannot hide!!

Where did the money come from, why was it not exchanged and banked? The FIC must look into the possibility of money laundering.. reserve bank currency control, sars tax, hawks criminal conduct...

Since when is South African tax payers money in $?

When I caught my ex partner with his hands in the cookie jar, the lies just got worse

As if he will admit that the money was stolen

Who said that money was the public money? 😂

Ramaphosa must GO ramaphosamustgo

How did major general Roodhe get to Namibia?

I don't trust this thief.

Did anyone say he stole taxpayers money?

Guys still doesn't get it, or wa ibaiziza net🤣🤣

That's exactly what someone who steals tax payers money would say

He & his media are playing us. No one said he stole public funds. How did the USDs end up under his mattresses? Why did he not open a criminal case when they were stolen? What was traded? Were there any tax implications? Does SARB know about the USDs? We are no fools.

It coocking time divide and conquer on the cards...

This ninkumpoop is running the country, it’s finances and thinks it’s a good idea to stash $4M cash in a mattress

The allegations are that he was found in possession of huge sums of foreign currency. That could amount to criminality since there are laws that regulates against that. Also there is the matter of abuse of that power, concealing a crime, bribery, etc.

Then $4mil dollers in cash on the Farm where does it come from Bribary money PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa, if it's not a secret man up and proof your innocence

Lol this jumping jumping Who said he stole taxpayers money 💵💵💰 He baba u in position of illegal activities under your Phala Phala Pouching Game

Okay but did he pay tax from the stash

I had faith that Fraser and Zuma would finally down the buffalo. But it seems they're playing marbles like their chiKops🤦‍♂️

Who said you stolen money?

does SARS have the info about who brought those $ into the country?, how did those perpetrators come back into the country without being formally processed?, did he pay them to keep quiet?, is it true the money was put under the mattress? otherwise ziyakhala

Now where have we heard that one before...

You did because you had a larger amount of money in your Limpopo Residencial place and did not Declare it to SARS.

We heard you

Tell him to show his bank details!!!

Its BREAKING cos if let's say he had stolen from taxpayers. Guess who would be angry?😏So this is to assure them and to say their favourite is still a good ol'boy

😂😂😂😂😂Ahy

Who said anything about taxpayers money?🤣

Legodu la tsotsi

Don't feed us nonsense please siyacela🙏

Who said he stole the money this man is confused or what

Nxaaa

I think there is a case here. SARS, SARB, SAPSA, and the judiciary must ensure there is justice.

It’s not about tax payers money coz it’s done by bank transfer It’s about all those dollars that haven’t been decared coming and going coz SA people are not buying game or cattle with dollars

Who said he stole taxpayers money? We asking thina how's it possible to stash $4mil

Who accused him of stealing taxpayers money now?

The what now How did news24 shamelessly run that headline 👀

Arthur Fraser has enough evidence

Vele it wasn't Taxpayers money it was those Rare animals you sell you White Foreigners

So the president is going divert this whole thing and speak some nonsense about not stealing tax payers monies,I mean we all know this was not tax payers money

That's what they all say🤨

He must be investigated. It is not about him, it is about us not trusting our leaders.

I also did not sleep with the neighbour's wife on Christmas eve milady. Were both innocent

But this is not about tax payers monies,it’s about concealing a crime that involves multi million dollars and possible money laundering

We know the money was in dollars. We want to know if its that Glencore money they use to bribe heads of governments and judges

So we are allowed to evade tax?

YES YOU STOLE THE SA TAX PAYERS MONEY AND WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

Kak.

In UK Tony Blair was known as Teflon Tony as no dirt ever stuck to him. Here we have slippery Cyril

Set-up!

But still a thief and money launderer

Now it's 'BREAKING' No longer 'Just In'..... Ouch poor darling of the media...... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, he did (not)... Proof please 🙄

Mmmxmmmmm

Is the criminal case against him talk about stealing tax payers money ?

It's politics, dirty as hell. I don't like him but I do believe him.

And what did SARS say about that money ? OH yes they said nothing !!!

No one is accusing Ramaposa of stealing taxpayer money. Read the charge sheet and do better.

He is a Thief and now causing problems in Namibian politics as well. Haiiii!!!

Didn't know he must declare an income from farming activities? Or did his son handle all the transactions? CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA

Lol admin is there a confession you wish to share about the President?

In President CyrilRamaphosa we believe

No one said he stole the money…and the Anc claps hand..hai man

After his end of term the media will never regain its credibility stop treating Ramaphosa like an angel.

indeed is the money from the proceeds, pure business no government money. people thought they r calling him buffalo 4 nothing.keep the money coming in mr president and people must respect his private affairs please.

Who said anything about tax payers' money?

Who mentioned tax payers' money?

What about stealing from the law...?

Who said he stole it?😂

Who said he did? I wanna know about the 4 million us dollars and demand answers from this thing you call a president.

Some one else will do similar thing we will see your reporting

😂😂this guy take us for kids

Corrupt like the rest of the voetsekanc. Your true colours start to surface voetsekramaphosa

Ohky president we are hearing that but why are doing money laundering to your state and where did this foreign currency come from, why ppl were touched

This man is not a very smart man. Nobody accused him of stealing taxpayers money even on the affidavit. But what’s nice is that he admitted live that he stacks of cash at the property

It’s about flaunting forex laws, exchange controls, transparency, trust, defeating ends of justice

rama fake is a corrupt anc cadre

Nobody said he stole taxpayers money but did he comply with sars requirements, having such a huge foreign currency involves also the SARB compliance issues.

So for corruption or money laundering to happen, tax payer's money must be involved? Hay your favourite guys. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Did anyone accuse him of stealing anyone's money? Where in that Arthur Fraser affidavit? South African media....South Africans are in trouble really

Where did this nigga get 4 million dollars in cash? Where's the paper trail to back his excuse?

Stop being his mouthpiece. Let the law take it's cause.

But the allegations level against the president by Arthur Frazer are not about stealing money...

Asfuni kuwazi...

No one accused him of stealing tax money. Don't shift the goal posts...
