Two suspected swindlers will return to the Muizenberg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, where they will pursue their bail bid after being arrested in connection with a R14 million romance fraud and money laundering scheme.
The two accused, Sikelelwa Nqunu, 37, and Chibuzor Joseph, 46, made their first court appearance on Monday and are expected to appear alongside their co-accused Asanda Dwesini, Nomphelo Fetman, Brazil Hendricks, Shan Lewis, and Lavina Opel, who were arrested earlier this year.
