Alleged fraudsters nabbed with over R17k in fake notes REITZ: The Free State police have nabbed four suspects between the ages of 29 and 35 for allegedly being in possession of counterfeit money valued at over R17 000 and also for defrauding [unsuspecting] victims. According to the police spokesperson, Motantsi Makhele, the four, who are said to be foreign nationals, were apprehended during a covert operation led by various teams at Reitz near Phuthaditjhaba. He says it's alleged that these suspects would make people take bank loans, promising them that their money will be doubled and that such loans will be cancelled at the bank.

Whilst in the process of allegedly defrauding the said victims, the four

would apparently also perform rituals for people submitting such requests to the banks and those applying for jobs with promises of promotions to higher posts.

Makhele says that upon a further search outside the house, a small traditional hut was found with Bibles and a calabash.

There were also resignation letters from people. These letters had requests by people wanting to be given luck for money, jobs, and promotions to higher positions. Papers cut to the size of banknotes were also discovered. “All the items found were seized and kept as exhibits. The four suspects, aged between 29 and 35, were arrested for the possession of counterfeit money. They

Gemeenskaps-lede, boere en taxi-eienaars versper pad in protes optrede Foto: Verskaf

VRYSTAAT: Boere, met hul trekkers, gemeenskaps-lede, insluitend taxi-eienaars, het alle toegangspaaie na Ficksburg hier in die Vrystaat gister begin versper. Hulle betoog teen die slegte toestand van paaie wat Vrystaatse dorpe verbind. ‘n Plaaslike boer en lid van die Ficksburg-landbouvereniging, Friedl von Maltitz, sê: “Ons het gekla oor die toestand van die pad wat daartoe gelei het dat mense hul lewens verloor het.”

Die gemeenskap sê in 'n memorandum wat aan Sisi Ntombela gestuur is, dat Ficksburg 'n groot boeregemeenskap het en dat die toestand van die paaie dit vir boere onmoontlik sal maak om hul produkte van die plaas af na die dorp te vervoer. Taxieienaars en motoriste stel ook hul lewens in gevaar om daagliks met hierdie paaie te ry. Von Maltitz sê: “Toe die gemeenskap vroeër oor die paaie gekla het, het Ntombela belowe om aandag aan die

situasie te gee.” Hy sê na aanleiding van geen optrede van die provinsiale regering nie, het die gemeenskap 'n memorandum na die premier se kantoor gestuur en binne sewe dae vir ‘n reaksie daarop gevra. 'n Besluit is toe deur alle rolspelers geneem om te begin betoog, aangesien geen reaksie van die provinsiale regering ontvang is nie, sê Von Maltitz.

"Ons het vroeg vanoggend begin om toegangspaaie te versper en ons wag op reaksie," het hy gesê. ‘n Bekende kommersiële radiostasie in die Vrystaat het gedetailleerde vrae aan Ntombela se kantoor gestuur.

Haar woordvoerder, Sello Pietersen, het bevestig dat sy breedvoerig sal reageer. "Die premier het kommer uitgespreek oor die situasie en gaan die besorgdheid van die inwoners ondersoek, asook ander uitdagings wat die gemeenskap dringend in die gesig staar," het hy gesê.

Motswenyane also urged them to report such incidents so as to ensure that those responsible are removed from society.

appeared before the Reitz Magistrate's Court on Wednesday 17 March 2021,” he adds. The crime intelligence operation was led by the Phuthaditjhaba Tactical Response Team (TRT), Bethlehem Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations (Hawks), and Bethlehem Local Criminal Record Centre on Sunday 14 March 2021 at about 19:20.

Meanwhile, the Provincial Police Commissioner, Baile Motswenyane, has urged residents to refrain from allowing the alleged fraudster to take advantage of their desperate situation. Motswenyane also urged them to report such incidents so as to ensure that those responsible are removed from society. - SAPS
