Alleged RAF conman’s relatives arrested
Three relatives of former policeman Mohamed Ebrahim were arrested yesterday and appeared in Durban’s Commercial Crime Court. Ebrahim is facing charges of defrauding the Road Accident Fund R6m after allegedly pretending to be a quadriplegic. A News24 report notes the state alleges his wife Asha (51), son Junaid (32) and daughter-in-law Nerosha Nohar (33) defrauded the fund out of R435 000 through invoices they submitted for payments for ‘taking care’ of him.
Magistrate Judy Naidoo granted them each bail of R5 000. They will appear in court again tomorrow when Ebrahim, who has been in custody since his arrest earlier this month, is expected to apply for bail. In submissions to Naidoo, prosecutor Nolwazi Letsholo said it was the state’s case that Ebrahim had never been involved in a car accident but had been listed as a passenger in an accident his son had been involved in 2002.
