Wide of briefing STORYLINE: South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Friday dodged questions about his alleged cover-up of a theft of large amounts of cash from his farm, saying only that he would appear before his party's integrity committee over the accusations. Ramaphosa, 69, endured a second day of being grilled in Parliament by opposition members before facing more questions from the media over the growing scandal. Ramaphosa is facing allegations of money laundering, bribery and breaking South Africa's foreign currency laws over the theft, which reportedly involved $4 million in cash being stolen two years ago from his Phala Phala game farm in the northern Limpopo province. He has confirmed that the theft took place and has denied any wrongdoing. He said the money came from the sale of farm animals, but has dodged all questions seeking specific information about the robbery. The story of the theft came to light earlier this month when the country's former intelligence chief, Arthur Fraser, filed a criminal complaint with police alleging that Ramaphosa had tried to cover up the robbery. Fraser alleges that Ramaphosa had been keeping the cash hidden in furniture at his ranch when it was stolen. Instead of reporting the theft to police, Fraser alleged that Ramaphosa tried to cover it up by having members of his presidential protection unit track down the thieves. Ramaphosa told reporters at the parliament complex in Cape Town that he wanted a full investigation to take place before answering questions about it. The scandal surrounding the farm theft is the biggest challenge to Ramaphosa's leadership of Africa's most developed economy and comes six months before a critical party elective conference in December, when Ramaphosa had already been expected to face a tough battle to be re-elected the party's leader.
