This only mentions the USD580,000 from the sale of buffalo…what about the approximately $140 million (roughly R2 billion at 2020 exchange rates) that was purportedly transported from Waterkloof Air Force Base to Phala Phala and stored there for more than a month prior to the theft in February? That part of the story seems to have been swept under the carpet and forgotten about since it has never been mentioned again.

Gosh Ms. Regan, with respect, this story is a few years old already. Who still cares who’ve done it, why, how, and how a certain Fraser knew about it. Nothing will ever be done, by anybody, NPA, police, voters, and a host of others. News have moved on, or do we need to go back to Piet Retief or Jan van Riebeeck
Fraser is known for his Honesty and for not embelishing anything?
Why would Squirel hide money in a couch its a fancy game farm with more than one safe not a shack, this is all a set up, nobody actually saw the dollars.
