Media Statement
EASTERN CAPE – The Hawks are turning to the public once again in their efforts to locate Neliswa Elizabeth Nofilita (52), a wanted suspect in a fraud and tax evasion case linked to Road Accident Fund (RAF). Despite a nationwide appeal made on 14 August 2024, Nofilita remains at large. Now, law enforcement is ramping up efforts to bring her to justice and your help could make all the difference. Between 2014 and 2015, Nofilita allegedly manipulated financial records to mislead SARS, falsely declaring that her business was non-operational. She further failed to declare Value Added Tax (VAT) transactions, defrauding SARS of more than R633 000. She was arrested by the East London based Serious Commercial Crime Investigation of the Hawks on 24 March 2023 and later released on bail after appearing before the East London Magistrate’s Court. However, she failed to appear in court on 23 October 2023, leading to the forfeiture of her bail and the issuing of a warrant for her arrest. The Hawks are appealing to anyone with information regarding to Nofilita’s whereabouts to contact Captain Gideon Smith on 072 580 2538 or Lieutenant Colonel Zane Johnson 082 941 8588.
All the information and identities will be treated with outmost confidentiality.
