An accountant from Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape is now facing further charges of theft and fraud following allegations that he defrauded and stole from another client, Sunridge SuperSpar.
This alleged fraud apparently amounts to more than R40 million.
Jonathan Simon Blow (51) also made headlines last week allegations that he also walked into Dispatch SuperSpar with the same modus operandi. He is currently in custody after being arrested and charged earlier in connection with these allegations. Herold Live reports that in the first case he is accused of fraud of R11 million, bringing the total amount to more than R50 million.
The latest complaint against Blow was filed on Friday.
According to Capt. Yolisa Mgolodela, spokesperson for the Falcons, Blow was appointed as accounting officer for Sunridge SuperSpar for the period between 3 July 2020 and 19 September 2022. He consequently had full access and administrative rights to the company’s merchant bank accounts.
“In addition to the amounts for which he invoiced SuperSpar, he is alleged to have unlawfully transferred cash amounting to more than R40 million to his bank account. This was confirmed from investigations by the Falcons in Gqeberha.”
Blow appeared in court on 24 March this year, the same day of his arrest, and the case was adjourned until 3 April for a formal bail application.
