She fell in love, then her R2 million vanished - Hawks hunt three men

A 52-year-old woman from Klerksdorp allegedly lost R2 million of her pension payout to a fraud syndicate after being lured into a romantic relationship. The suspects, identified as Emmanuel Jackson Kigezi and two accomplices, claimed she needed to fund a 'cleansing' process to access a supposed R14 million inheritance. After transferring R2 million to their accounts, the suspects disappeared. The South African Police Service's Hawks unit is appealing for public assistance to locate the three men involved in the scam.
