PORT ELIZABETH – Ndikum Yanick Mathisa (27) will appear before the New Law court this Friday for Formal Bail application in relation to a charge of Fraud.
It is alleged that on 17 August 2016, Mathisa defrauded a Port Elizabeth law company just above R500 000. The law company was supposed to pay this amount to a 44-year-old woman who is the company’s supplier of office equipment.
Mathisa allegedly wrote an email to the company impersonating himself as the businesswoman. In the letter he informed the company that he had changed his banking details. The law company subsequently paid half a million into the false bank account.
The Port Elizabeth members of the Serious Organised Crime unit of the Hawks started to investigate this alleged crime during August 2016. Consequently, the members arrested Mathisa last week Wednesday in Arcadia, Pretoria. He appeared before the New Law court for the first time in Friday.
