Two suspects are set to appear in court following their arrest for a R14 million romance fraud and money laundering scheme.
Two suspects accused of orchestrating a staggering R14 million romance fraud and money laundering scheme are set to return to the Muizenberg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, where they will seek bail following their arrest.
The case has garnered attention due to the audacity of the alleged offence, which preys on victims seeking love and companionship online.
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.
The group faced criminal charges after they exploited an elderly woman from 2017 to 2018.
