Agent found guilty of fraud

AN AGENT facing charges of

fraud has been found guilty

on one of the charges and

is expected to appear for

sentencing later this month.

A court date for one of her

other charges is also expected

to be set for this month.

Fraud charges were laid

against Fatima Joosub last year

after she allegedly took money

from clients and did not pay it

over to suppliers. She was then

arrested earlier this year on

further charges and spent time

in jail, before being released

on bail. The charges were laid

against her by clients of two

companies of which she was

director, namely Ayka Travel and

One for Travel Services. One of

the affected clients has opted

for an out-of-court settlement

with an agreement that Fatima

pay back the monies owed.

Fatima has denied owning

One for Travel Services on the

basis that due diligence was

not completed before she took

ownership of the company.

However, TNW has seen copies

of the transfer of ownership

and share certificates in

Fatima and Shameem Joosub’s

(Fatima’s mother) names.

Both were also listed as

directors of the company on

the Companies and Intellectual

Property Commission.

The SA Police Service said

earlier this year that Fatima and

Shameem Joosub, were facing

roughly 35 counts of fraud

spanning Cape Town, Phoenix,

Alberton, Douglasdale, Sandton

and Pietermaritzburg.

Fatima has reserved
