South Africa Tax Body Unable to Trace Cash Paid to Ramaphosa

South Africa’s tax authority said it’s unable to find any record of funds brought into the country by a Sudanese businessman that were used to purchase buffalo from President Cyril Ramaphosa.

The statement by the South African Revenue Service renews scrutiny of the theft of the money from a game farm owned by Ramaphosa that threatened to end his presidency. Ramaphosa last year considered resigning after an advisory panel found he may have breached the constitution over his handling of the burglary, though the panel’s report was later quashed by parliament.
