One of the men allegedly implicated in the robbery at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s farm Phala Phala by former State Security Agency director-general Arthur Fraser alleges that the Hawks took him out of prison for questioning in connection with the robbery – without his lawyer present. But the Hawks has denied the allegations. Urbanus Shaumbwako was arrested in Cape Town in October 2020, allegedly while in possession of 12 unlicensed automatic weapons on Blaauwberg Road in Table View. He had allegedly sped away from a roadblock.
