Both were arrested this weekend, on charges of housebreaking and theft.

The pair were nabbed in Rustenburg and Bela Bela respectively.

The Hawks say the arrest of a third suspect is imminent.

The Phala Phala farm garnered national attention following revelations that millions of dollars were stolen there in 2020, and the robbery was not reported.

Then acting Public Protector, Koleka Gcaleka, cleared the President of any wrongdoing in July.

She found there was no substantiated evidence that he violated the Executive Ethics Code or conflicted with his constitutional obligations due to his business dealings.
