It's believed millions of US dollars were stolen from the President's farm in February 2020.

Several inquiries were launched into the matter and even a motion by opposition parties in Parliament to impeach Ramaphosa over the incident.

Public Protector Koleka Gcaleka cleared the President of any wrongdoing in the matter.
