According to bbc.com:
A former spy chief laid a criminal complaint against Ramaphosa, accusing him of committing irregularities in trying to hide the theft of $4m (£3.25m) in cash at his game farm in the north-eastern Limpopo province.
Ramaphosa denied any wrongdoing, saying that the money stolen from his sofa in 2020 came from genuine sale of buffaloes at his Phala Phala Farm in Limpopo.
According to prosecutors, the decision not to bring any charges against the President or anyone else came following “a comprehensive investigation process”.
