SIU obtains order freezing a director’s assets worth over R16-million in UIF TERS fraud

# The Special Investigating Unit has secured an order from the Special Tribunal to freeze the assets of Nhlakanipho Mngomezulu following the unlawful receipt of Covid-19 Temporary Employer/Employee Relief Scheme funds worth over 16.3-million-rand. Spokesperson Selby Makgotho says the order follows an SIU investigation, which revealed that Lubelo Hlomuka Holdings, trading as SA Scrum Assembly, of which Mngomezulu is the director, unlawfully received the money. Makgotho says between 2020 and ’22, he and his company acquired four immovable properties, primarily in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, using the misappropriated funds.
