Ipid drops 'top secret' tag on Phala Phala, but report not released
March 03, 2026
|The Citizen
Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia has confirmed that the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) has declassified its report into the Phala Phala farm burglary.
The directorate launched its investigation into the conduct of police officers allegedly involved in the Phala Phala theft saga in 2022.
Its decision came after the African Transformational Movement (ATM) president, Vuyolwethu Zungula, laid a complaint with the investigating directorate.
Zungula had asked Ipid to investigate allegations that top police brass knew about the alleged cover-up of the February 2020 theft at President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm in Limpopo.
However, in a parliamentary response to EFF MP Mazwi Blose in November last year, Cachalia said the Ipid report had been classified as “top secret” to protect the integrity of the investigation, witnesses and South African Police Service members who might have been implicated.
