Convicted killer Sandile Mantsoe facing fraud charges in Mpumalanga
Mantsoe, the sole owner of Trillion Dollar Legacy investment scheme, was requisitioned from the Bloemfontein prison where he is serving a 32-year sentence for the 2017 murder of his then-girlfriend Karabo Mokoena.
Convicted killer Sandile Mantsoe appeared in the Evander Regional Court in Mpumalanga on charges of fraud.
Mpumalanga Hawks spokesperson Lucy Sekgotodi confirmed the latest charges against Mantsoe relate to allegations he defrauded would-be investors in 2016.
"It is alleged that during December 2016, the accused visited many government offices including Department of Justice, Municipality offices, and Department of Education whereby he recruited about 180 investors to invest over R2 million for a higher return on investment. "
In the statement, Sekgotodi said it was further alleged Mantsoe did not pay his clients as promised and one of his alleged victims reported the matter at Evander police station in December 2016.
"The case was referred to the Hawks for further probe. After the case was finalised, it was presented before the Evander Regional Court where a subpoena was issued for him to appear before the court on 22 August 2022, hence his appearance."
The case was postponed to 27 September for further investigation.
Mantsoe was remanded in custody.
