Prominent businessman Howard Mashaba faces arrest after failing to appear in court for serious fraud charges, following an unauthorised trip to China.
The Polokwane Specialised Commercial Crimes Court has issued a warrant of arrest for prominent businessman Howard Mashaba after he failed to appear for his scheduled trial.
Mashaba, facing a litany of charges including fraud, theft, and money laundering, reportedly left South Africa for China on a business trip without the necessary judicial authorisation.
The charges against Mashaba involve alleged fraudulent deeds of sale perpetrated against the National Government and the Limpopo Department of Public Works, Roads, and Infrastructure.
Fraudulent transactions were allegedly concluded for properties in Giyani, with payments made directly into a personal bank account.
