Fraudsters in court for fake investment scheme


 Two men appeared in the Butterworth magistrates court on Monday on charges of fraud involving millions of rands.
Their case was postponed to the 29th of April for a formal bail application.

They are 34-year-old Kwazi Joshua Mpumlwana, who is a director/ owner of an investment scheme, and 32-year-old Zimbabwean national Phanuel Tashaya Kadye, who is a portfolio manager.

Police Captain Jackson Manatha says the men were arrested in Johannesburg last week by members of the Mthatha commercial Crime unit.

They allegedly started a fake investment scheme in 2007 and defrauded hundreds of people who invested money.

The victims include pensioners, civil servants and business people across South Africa.
