The accused, Imanuwela David, Froliana Joseph and her brother Ndilinasho Joseph, who are linked to the theft of $580,000 USD at South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s farm, Phala Phala, appear in the Magistrate’s Court in Modimolle, South Africa.
The Modimolle Regional Court in Limpopo has adjourned the trial of three people accused of stealing 580-thousand US dollars at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm in 2020.
The trial has been adjourned to the 2nd and 3rd of next month.
Defense lawyer, Koena Matlala, has concluded his cross-examination of a cellphone data analyst.
Matlala has argued that the cellphone analyst’s data findings are inaccurate as they can be edited.
Immanuela David and his co-accused Joseph siblings, Froliana and Ndilinasho, allegedly broke into the farm and stole the money that was stuffed in a sofa.
Magistrate Peter Manthata postponed the matter.
“This matter has been postponed until the 2nd of February 2026 for further trial. Accused number one you are still in custody, number 2 and 3 are on an extended bail.”
