Johannesburg - A Johannesburg auctioneer still hasn’t received a cent back from the Zimbabwean granny who defrauded him of antique goods and jewellery worth more than R700 000. Elizabeth Nyathi, 53, the former deputy president of Zimbabwe’s Affirmative Action Group , was sentenced to six years in prison at the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Friday after being found guilty of 10 counts of fraud.
Christiaan Scholtz, the owner of the Old Johannesburg Warehouse Auctioneers, told The Star that since the trial started last year he hadn’t recovered the lost money. The antique goods included seven Rolex watches, diamond and gold rings, kitchenware and furniture, which Nyathi had bought between January and April. About 90% of the goods that the auction house sells are from private individuals and, once sold, the auctioneer takes a percentage from the sale.
