HAWKS ARRESTED SUSPECT FOR R423 000 FRAUD
Limpopo: The Serious Commercial Crime Investigation of the Hawks nabbed suspect Mokgokane Isaac Kabini (41) for alleged fraud amounting to R423 000.
The suspect was arrested on 18 February 2026 at Groblersbridge Port of Entry while on his way to Botswana.
It is alleged that during August 2019, a woman called herself Queen recruited the victim to invest money into a Forex Trading Investment.
After the presentation, she was provided with banking account.
She deposited an amount of R423 000 on three occasions and expected to withdraw more than R700 000 in October 2019.
After the investment term lapsed, she contacted Queen for withdrawal, and the phone was offline.
She became suspicious and contacted the police at Ohrisgstad for assistance.
A case of fraud was registered and transferred to Phalaborwa based Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation for further investigation.
Hawks investigators managed to link the suspect with the crime since the money was deposited into his bank account.
The manhunt was launched until he was arrested.
He is expected to appear in Praktizeer Magistrate Court soon to face charges of fraud, theft and money laundering.
More arrests are imminent.
The Acting Provincial Head of the Hawks in Limpopo Province Brigadier Desmond Alexander applauded the arresting team and appealed to the community members to be vigilant regarding investment.
Court update: Mokgokane Isaac Kabini (41) postponed to 26 February for bail formal application.
