The Hawks in North West have launched a public appeal to trace three men accused of defrauding a 52-year-old nurse from Klerksdorp of R2.5 million in an elaborate romance scam. According to Hawks spokesperson Lt-Col Tinyiko Mathebula, the woman met a man identifying himself as Emmanuel Kigezi in August 2025 and entered a romantic relationship. Kigezi allegedly claimed he was due to inherit R14 million from his late father but needed R1.2 million to perform rituals to "cleanse" the will before the inheritance could be released.
