Umbanus Shaumbwako, Petrus Muhekeni, Erkki Shikongo, and Petrus Afrikaner, along with Imanuwela David, were the five Namibian guys that broke into Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala property on February 9, 2020. They stole $4 million in U.S. money that was hidden behind a couch. 35-year-old Imanuwela David is suspected to be the mastermind behind everything. When he financed extensive modifications to the traditional home of Mwaambange Shikunda, an elder from Olukekete village in the Omusati district, around 15 kilometers from Outapi, he raised eyebrows in his community. This is because the community of Olukekete is situated in the Omusati region. This residence is where Imanuwela David, now 35 years old, spent his formative years. David possessed an older Volkswagen Polo. The peasants spotted David driving a Mercedes-Benz SUV. It is believed that David was the mastermind behind the theft of $4 million in cash from Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala game farm.

“The residents of the town were surprised by the repairs made to the house, and they began to speculate about who was responsible for the work.

“Everyone was surprised because the property had a reputation for being dilapidated, and this makeover represented a substantial improvement. One of the residents of the residence is employed.” Later, the robbery’s details came to light “A resident of the area commented.

 
The accused allegedly took advantage of a Namibian school principal in order to purchase a lodge and a Toyota Land Cruiser.

David’s effort to complete the tenth grade in 2001 was unsuccessful, and since 2005 he has lived in Mzansi with his mother, Amalia Haunaunye, and his late father, Libolius David.

After a period of time as a border guard in the South African Defense Force, he decided to quit the service. Since then, David has relocated to Cape Town.

Ramaphosa allegedly paid David around N$150 000 to remain silent about the affair.

David was arrested in Windhoek, Namibia on June 14, 2020, after illegally entering Namibia on June 12, 2020. The law enforcement authorities arrested him after discovering he was in possession of a TAG Heuer watch worth more than R29,000, a Rolex watch worth more than R290,000, a gold chain worth more than R170,000, and US dollars in cash.
