HAWKS SWOOP ON

LOAN SHARK OPERATION

It is illegal to lend money and charge a fee or interest

unless you first register as a credit provider with the NCR.

Also, those who offer credit have to stick to the

requirements of the National Credit Act (NCA). The NCA

regulates fees and interest that is allowed to be charged

and also prohibits taking peoples personal documents or

cards as surety for loans.

This month, the Hawks, accompanied by members of

the National Credit Regulator (NCR) swooped down on

an illegal credit providing operation in Hazyview, called

Humelela Cash Loans. The owner, Ms Nozipho Yolanda

Precious Mabuza, was running the business without having

registered with the NCR.

At Humelela Cash Loans the Hawks found over 500 bank

cards and Sassa grant cards, as well as, identity documents

of many clients. Ms Mabuza was illegally demanding these

items from clients when providing loans.

These items will now be returned to the rightful owners.
