A case of fraud against four accused, Norton Carld Howard (43), Charles Moses Howard (56), Jezeral Selvin (39), and Kenshia Charlene Howard (36) was postponed until 3 November 2022. Four accused briefly appeared before the Kuruman Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
It is alleged that, in April 2010, Norton Howard fraudulently used Kallies Business Enterprise CC credentials to bid for a tender advertised by Anglo American, which is Kathu Khumba Iron Ore. As a result of misrepresentation, Howard was awarded the tender for plant maintenance.
The Hawks spokesperson in Northern Cape, Capt Tebogo Thebe said: “It is alleged that in August 2018, Howard made a misrepresentation to CIPC. He submitted another fraudulent resolution to CIPC that the members of Kallies Enterprise resigned.
“As a result, the membership of the close corporation was amended, where the father and siblings of the suspect were added as new members of the entity. The prejudice to the complainant is R61 million.”
Thebe said Howard was granted R50 000 bail, whereas the other accused were released on R30 000 bail each. He said the matter was postponed for further investigation.
