Speaking under condition of anonymity, the 18-year-old believes her details were leaked by a government official at the Master of the High Court in Pietermaritzburg. Now she wants justice.
She says she fears for her life because she is speaking out about her ordeal to get back her inheritance. The funds had been held for her by the Guardian Fund until she turned 18. It falls under the administration of the Master of the High Court. The Fund was established to protect and manage the money of minors until they are old enough to handle their own affairs.
“We went to the Pietermaritzburg High Court at Masters Office we were accompanied by our grandmother, to lodge a claim of our inheritance, we were told the money would be paid in three months. As days of the payout were getting closer, I got another call from someone who claimed they are from Pietermaritzburg High Court. They wanted to ensure the money would be paid to a right account, I just confirmed my banking details, to my surprise the person had all my details including my ID number.
“My mother is devastated by this ordeal since she is the one who has been looking after my late sister’s children so now when she was hoping the child will be able to look after herself, thieves decide to take all those hopes away. I think banks are protecting criminals in disguise of protecting their clients. In this instance, the bank has even refused to freeze the account where my niece’s money was taken, we have all the proof with the account number.
People from that office, they ask you many documents. Bafuna u give up basale bazidlele imali.
