A Hawks investigation team in Bethlehem arrested 39-year-old Caleb Ntuli in Palm Ridge in Gauteng on Saturday.

According to Free State Hawks spokesperson, Captain Christopher Singo, Ntuli allegedly ran the scheme between 2017 and 2019. "It is alleged that the victims invested their money into an investment scheme known as Tshwaranang Community Stokvel with a promise of getting an interest return of 30 to 50 percent within a period of 30 days.""The victims did not receive their money as promised. As a result, the victims suffered a total loss of R8 million," said Singo.

Ntuli appeared in the Phuthaditjhaba Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of fraud, money laundering and contravention of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act.We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
