Fraud syndicate scam over 5 000 people including police officers ERMELO | MARLITA CLAASSENS Nine suspects are wanted by the Hawks after allegedly defrauding more than 5 000 individuals out of millions of rand by running a fake company that had asked people to invest in it. The suspects are accused of operating a company in Mpumalanga called "Mr Coin" which promised its investors returns of between 80% and 150%. According to the Hawks, the seven men and two women went as far as going to schools to hand out shoes and creating competitions for
people to win prizes. Hawks spokesperson Dineo Sekgotodi said that from January 2021, the suspects allegedly recruited employees and promised them 10% commission for every new client they signed up. "They made some events where people won prizes and they were targeting professionals like nurses, teachers, police officers and more as to make people think they are legitimate," Sekgotodi said. They apparently operated from a shopping centre in Elukwatini and also had offices in Carolina, Ermelo and Dondonuld. The suspects
requested that their investors send them cash, and not deposit money into a bank account. Sekgotodi said the Hawks received a complaint after the victims went to the "Mr Coin" offices and found it closed. "This so-called investment were divided into three categories: silver, gold and platinum. Silver category's interest was 80% of the invested amount, gold category's interest was 100% and the platinum category's interest was 150%," Kekgotodi said. newsroom@rekordmediafs.co.za

Onderwêreld -opvoering betower leerders “LEERDERS VAN VOLKSRUS HOËRSKOOL OPPAD OM DIE JEUGROMAN, ONDERWÊRELD, TE GAAN BESIGTIG…” ERMELO | MARLITA CLAASSENS Vroeg Vrydag oggend, 22 April 2022, het graad 12-leerders na Hoërskool Ermelo vertrek om die verhoogopvoering van die jeugroman, Onderwêreld, geskryf deur Fanie Viljoen, te besigtig. Daar aangekom het die twintig Afrikaanse huistaalleerders van VHS opgewonde hul sitplekke in die EHS-ouditorium ingeneem in afwagting vir die aanvang van dié Andre Stolz
produksie. Saam met leerders van EHS, Ligbron, Morgenzon en Carolina is ons leerders vermaak deur die betowerende vertolking van die Onderwêreld-karakters deur die akteurs Arno Horn (tans student aan die New York Film Academy), Stefan van Niekerk (Boetie ontmoet 'n Alien), Morné Visser (Liewe Kersfeesvader; Teen-Romcom Trilogy (NETFLIX); Dis ek Anna; Wesens; Stropers), Beate Opperman
(Verraaiers; Donkerland; Roepman; Buurtwag), Xander Goosen (Ovasie; Getroud Met Rugby) en Jaco Schoeman (Getroud Met Rugby; VuurDoop) onder spelleiding van Andre Stolz. Hierdie kultuuruitstappie het dan ook ‘n hersieningsdoel gedien met die oog op die graad 12-eksamens wat om die draai is, aangesien die jeugroman, Onderwêreld, deel vorm van die voorgeskrewe Afrikaanse matriekkurrikulum vir
huistaalletterkunde. Graag bedank ons me. Nicolene le Roux, wat die groep leerders vergesel het, mnr. Lucky Magudulela vir die veilige vervoer van ons leerlinge, mnr. Martin le Roux vir die organisering van die uitstappie en Andre Stolz Produksies vir ‘n genotvolle, dog leersame toneelervaring. newsroom@rekordmediafs.co.za
