Unravelling the complex crypto fund that embroiled slain lawyer Bouwer van Niekerk
Description
Four people continue to elude the Gauteng police’s grasp for the brazen murder of top Johannesburg insolvency attorney Bouwer van Niekerk. He was shot and killed in his law firm’s offices earlier in September. Since then, the questionable, multimillion-rand NTC Global Trade Fund that Van Niekerk helped place in business rescue has been provisionally liquidated. The fund’s partners are now, according to them, living in fear too as investors ask the courts to get their millions back.News24 investigative journalist Kyle Cowan joins The Lead broadcasting from the news team’s Randburg studios. Later in the show, the asset management industry raises eyebrows at the latest Public Investment Corporation board appointments. Finally, we end off with “On This Day in SA History”.
