6 March 2023
Note to Editors: A voicenote from the DA Federal Leader John Steenhuisen is attached here and an affidavit from SARS here.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) can today reveal that the US dollars hidden inside a couch on the Phala Phala farm of President Cyril Ramaphosa were not declared to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) upon entering South Africa.
The DA obtained this information directly from SARS following a request submitted in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA).
Towards the end of last year, Ramaphosa claimed that he had received US$580 000 from one Hazim Mustafa, a Sudanese national, as payment for cattle as part of a legitimate business transaction.
