After we initially tried in vain to get Nomfundo Faith Shabalala’s comment when she was accused of stealing 265 K and ran away, we finally caught up with her.
But Nomfundo refuted the claim that she stolen 265 K.
” He is lying to me. I only took 150K,” she said.
Asked who the money belonged to, she didn’t deny that it belonged to her boyfriend. We wanted reasons why she stole it. “I wanted to use it,” she told Alex Reporter.
She said she used all the money on gambling. “Tomorrow, I’m leaving South Africa,” she said.
The Alex woman (28) who lived with her business partner (39) in Alex’s ext 10 knew where the money meant to buy a tow truck was kept.
According to the frustrated man, the woman from KZN told him that she was now left with R20, 000.
She is said to have told him that she took 85K and paid Unisa, which is still being investigated.
He said he was not worried about the other money she withdrew from the account, but very worried about the 265 K she swept from the wardrobe.
He recalled experiencing the biggest shock of his life when he couldn’t find her at home. By that time, his beautiful woman he trusted had already taken her valuable items, his moola and disappeared.
The man has opened a case with Alex SAPS after his girlfriend disappeared with the money last Friday (we have seen the case number).
The broken-hearted man said that ever since he dated the woman in 2018, she had never shown him the develish side she has shown him this week.
He informed Alex Reporter that she was a kind-hearted woman who had respect for him.
“I’m still in shock. I think she is bewitched,” said the man who asked not to be named. He claimed that when he called her to bring the remaining 20K, she allegedly told him she was scared.
He stated that he would not harm her, but only wanted the remaining amount.
He revealed that she was addicted to betting and that she may have spent some of the money on her addiction.
The man who is allegedly a loanshack says he has lost hope because even her mother, who lives at 4th Ruth in Alex, has no knowledge of her whereabouts.
The desperate man has also offered R3000 to anyone who can provide information.
