Media Statement UPINGTON – After a thorough investigation conducted by Rosedale Detectives, a 46-year-old man was arrested and appeared in court on Wednesday, 16 October 2024. The accused Freddie Van Wyk is facing seven charges of money laundering and one charge of cyber crime. It is alleged that the accused posed as a lawyer and has legally represented his victims on arbitration matters at a charged fee for his services. He allegedly misled the victims, claiming to be a NUMSA member authorized to represent members on arbitration and CCMA matters. It was established on investigation that Van Wyk is not a legal representative, nor is he a NUMSA member. He has allegedly been operating between De Aar and Upington. The accused is expected to appear again for a formal bail hearing on 23 October 2024. Any further information regarding these cases, which will be thoroughly investigated, “as it is expected that there are potentially more unsuspecting victims” can be forwarded to Sergeant Tshepo Morwaagae on 082 260 0443 or 054 337 0126.
