Johannesburg - The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation's serious commercial crime investigation unit said on Friday that they have arrested two directors of a Port Elizabeth-based construction company for alleged multi-million rand tax fraud.

Yasmena Pillay, 65, and Mogamat Rafiek Davids, 55, appeared before the Specialised Commercial Crime Court in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday, for alleged tax fraud amounting to approximately R46 million.
