Ramaphosa confirms farm robbery, claims 'no basis' to Arthur Fraser claims
Updated | By Xolani Khumalo
President Cyril Ramaphosa says there's no basis for the claims made against him by former spy boss Arthur Fraser.
Fraser is accusing the president of hiding a robbery at his Limpopo farm from the police and the South African Revenue Service.
It's alleged four million dollars were stolen from the property, an incident that allegedly involved Ramaphosa's domestic helper.
Fraser alleges Ramaphosa paid the culprits to keep quiet about the incident.
He's opened a case of money laundering, defeating the ends of justice and kidnapping against the president.

Ramaphosa has confirmed there was a robbery but denies any wrong doing.
"President Ramaphosa stands ready to cooperate with any law enforcement investigation of these matters," says the president's spokesperson Vincent Magwenya.
"President Ramaphosa remains resolute in leading the fight against corruption, restoring the integrity and capability of public institutions and overcoming the legacy of state capture, and will not be deterred by disinformation campaigns."
