WATCH: EFF vows to track down alleged UJ fraudsters
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Gauteng have vowed to locate and apprehend two former professors from the University of Johannesburg (UJ) accused of defrauding the institution.
Jaco van Schoor and Roy Marcus allegedly swindled more than R14 million from the university.
“As the EFF we are going to locate these two gentleman wherever they are and we are going to make sure that they are brought to the police because the police are unable to arrest them.
“If need be we are going to arrest them and hand them over to the police”, says EFF Gauteng general-secretary, Malisela Ledwaba.
The search for the two professors commenced this morning where different EFF members were dispatched to three locations to try and locate the alleged culprits.

The EFF says searched in Edenvale, Sandton and Menlyn in Pretoria for the professors.
“So today in the morning we traced where they reside and traced all their business and where they have interest, and we were able to locate some.
‘’As the EFF we took it upon ourselves to visit them, we were told that one of them is a chairperson of a board where he was supposed to go and hold a meeting in Sandton this morning, “ adds Ledwaba.
The EFF has while they have not been able to locate the professors, they will continue the search so they may be held accountable for their alleged crimes.
