A process has commenced to extradite additional suspects linked to the brazen $580 000 burglary at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala game farm in 2020.

This was revealed by the State in the Bela-Bela Magistrate’s Court on Friday, where Phala Phala cleaner Froliana Joseph, her brother David Joseph, and self-proclaimed “diamond boy” Imanuwela David made a brief appearance.

Prosecutor Nkhetheni Munyai told the court that the State wanted to have the matter postponed to finalise outstanding investigations.
