A 27-year-old man is due to appear in court on Friday in connection with the break-in at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala game farm.

Police said the suspect was arrested on Thursday and brings to three, the number of people in custody for the burglary and alleged theft of millions in foreign currency.

The money was said to be the proceeds of the sale of game and was found hidden in furniture.

National police spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, said the suspect will appear in court in Bela Bela after handing himself over to authorities.

He will join his two other two co-accused, Imanuwela David and Frolina Joseph, who made their first court appearance on Monday.

They face charges of house breaking, theft and an additional charge of money laundering.
