“All suspects were arrested during a large-scale operation in the early morning hours of today and will be charged with financial crimes, including conspiracy to commit wire/mail fraud/mail and money laundering,” said Mogale.
“The suspects in this investigation are alleged to have ties to a transnational organised crime syndicate originating in Nigeria,” she said. TimesLIVE understands the criminal organisation referred to is the Black Axe, a highly organised mafia-style organisation also known as the Neo Black Movement of Africa.“It is alleged these suspects preyed on victims, many of whom are vulnerable widows or divorcees who were led to believed they were in genuine romantic relationships but were scammed out of their hard-earned money.
“The crimes allegedly committed by the suspects hit close to home. Neighbours, parents, friends and family would be targets of this organisation.“We are confident this investigation will have a significant impact on this region and beyond,” she said.TimesLIVE

Yeah, I hope our so called friendly media can expose such behavior to the world a real common American and South Africans security force made some history to find a organized crime syndicate with some great intelligence 👌 let's hope this cleanup plan will continue in S A 😊👍😀
MYANC funders. Its the only reason they label us xenophobic.
Southy, alive with possibilities
I wonder how many families who will go hungry after this arrest 🤔these people are feeding families
A legacy of how for many years we've been isolated as a country now everyone els in the world is one step ahead of SA. We stand for nothing thats why we fall for anything. GUPTA Curry & Rice, Nigerian Love Scams, whats next.
These foreign nationals marry SAn women to obtain citizenship and thereafter continue with their crimes,I wish to believe that in many of these kidnapping cases, SAn women who are married or dating these foreigners may have an influence in such.
Where is open Borders
Good and well that the Hawks keep arresting Nigerians on a daily basis. Can we please find a source where the public can be made aware that these criminals are taken out of SA and never allowed back in? Please and thank you
What's new
Thanks to the USA law enforcement for being there, otherwise they wouldn't have been arrested by our local police enforcement.
They went too far then caught
Soith african women, 'foreigners no how to treat us, they buy us expensive gifts'..Yeah cause most of them dont work for it..
We thank USA intelligent team for helping the HAWKS.

I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to leticia_thomas1 on Twitter she guides me through and i made a return of R15500 after a week of trading, connect with her
South Africa house all criminals from all corners of the world, Russians, Mexicans, Brazilians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Zimbabweans, Ethiopians and of course Nigerians...We should just be renamed the House of Criminals
Evidently the Hawks are incapable of acting without foreign assistance.
Reminds me of one Nigerian arrested in OR Tambo with the help of Interpol RETURNING to SA after he fled the country in 2016...the nerve 😡 if it wasn’t for Interpol he’d be back in Hillbrow kidnapping young girls again
I feel nothing for these so called victims.......ba rata dilo
I am very proud of the work that Hawks have done not too many often we celebrate their hard work, but criticize their shortcomings. Hopefully this lead into prosecution. We want our country to be free of this syndicates.
😂Im waiting for South African Key Board warriors😂 They will soon be here typing nonsense, And forget about daylight armed robbery gang ANC

Nigerian mafia leaders arrested after Hawks swoop in Cape TownTimesLIVE understands that six leaders of the Black Axe organised crime group’s Cape Town chapter were arrested in a co-ordinated operation involving the Hawks and US law-enforcement authorities. Round Them All Up! Neo-black movement of Africa & Black axe are not the same people. NBM was/is/never will be a criminal outfit. I read through & you never published the names or pictures of your suspects, your aim is in trying so hard to drag a reputable name to the mud. Stop misleading people. We have seen this movie before and we know the end. They will be back in Nigeria in a month - bail granted by SA courts - skip the country - everyone shocked!!
