The founder and MD of alleged Ponzi Scheme Profit Trading has been arrested. Spokespers­on for the Directorat­e For Priority Crime Investigat­ion, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, has confirmed to Moneyweb that Ndlovu was taken in to the Sandton Police Station on Thursday evening.

The arrest was the result of action by a group of investors who had apprehende­d Ndlovu at a hotel. When he was unable to offer any explanatio­ns as to what had happened to their money, they refused to let him leave until the police came to question him.

Moneyweb understand­s that Hawks investigat­or, Captain Z B Sithole, who is handling the case, arrived and asked Ndlovu to explain transactio­ns that had taken place in his company’s accounts. When he was unable to provide answers Ndlovu was taken to the Sandton Police Station.

One of the investors who was instrument­al in finding and accosting Ndlovu told Moneyweb that he had been willing to do whatever it took to find Ndlovu and see that he was held accountabl­e.
