Hawks said evidence linked five suspects to the fraud, including a former member of the SANDF, before Elijah Mahlangu and Jabu Mokoena were arrested in Gauteng.
Elijah Mahlangu and Jabu Mokoena have appeared before the Emakhazeni Magistrate’s Court after a Mpumalanga man lost R740,000 to scammers. Picture: Hawks Two men, Elijah Mahlangu and Jabu Mokoena, have appeared before the Emakhazeni Magistrate’s Court facing charges of fraud in connection to the theft of R741,000.
“It is alleged that during October 2021, the complainant, Mr Sizolethu Richard Sindane, was a regular customer of a company called Centex Fluid Products Africa LTD. Sindane used to buy products by sending an email to the company with a list of required products. The company would package the stock and inform him when they are ready for delivery,” Mpumalanga spokesperson for the Hawks, Captain Dineo Lucy Sekgotodi narrated.
Sindane replied, telling the fraudsters that he had paid the money. The scammers purporting to be Centex Fluid Products Africa then informed Sindane that they had not received payment. During investigations, it was confirmed that the company Centex Fluid Products Africa did not receive the money from Sindane during that time.
