Police trail con-woman on the rampage

In one incident, she allegedly told the victim that she lives in a mine house and would like to rent out the servant’s quarters. She convinced the complainant to e-wallet the money citing high demand before disappearing after receiving the cash.

Officer-in charge at the Criminal Investigation Department, Assistant Superintendent Malatsi Baakile said in another incident, the woman, who goes by the name ‘Mma-Molefe’, persuaded another person to deposit money through cell phone banking claiming that she wanted to evict her husband’s relatives from the servant’s quarters. Baakile said police have received an alarming number of cases involving the same person.
