Limpopo Trio Arrested for R6.3 Million Fraud
The Hawks in Limpopo have arrested three individuals — a former company director and two former payroll administrators — in connection with a R6.3 million fraud case involving Anglo-American Platinum.
The suspects are accused of submitting false invoices and fraudulently claiming payments for security services that were never delivered. The alleged offenses took place between 20 December 2018 and 20 September 2021.
The accused have been identified as Monidue Nel (52), a former payroll administrator; Wanda van Zyl (57), a former director; and Ruan van Zyl (23), also a former payroll administrator. The trio allegedly fabricated and submitted over 33 fraudulent invoices on behalf of Global Strike Security Company.
These invoices led to unauthorized payments totaling over R6.3 million, resulting in significant financial losses for Anglo-American Platinum.
All three suspects voluntarily surrendered to the Hawks and made a brief appearance at the Mahwelereng Magistrate’s Court on 19 May 2025, where they faced 26 counts of fraud. The case was postponed to 20 May 2025 for a bail hearing.
