Bail was set for R5000 for Froliana, while David's is at R10 000.

 

The state did not oppose bail for the two siblings because they have allegedly been cooperating with police thus far.

 

The two are accused of breaking in and stealing approximately $580,000 in cash from the game farm owned by Ramaphosa in February 2020.

 

"It is in the interest of justice that accused number 2 and accused number 3 be released on bail,” said Magistrate Predeshni Poonan.


"In respect of accused number 2, bail is fixed at an amount of R5 000, In respect of accused number 3, bail is fixed at an amount of R10,000."
