Ramagatsi Isaac Molefi (41)

Police in Klerksdorp, North West, are appealing to the public for assistance in locating 41-year-old Ramagatsi Isaac Molefi, also known as Mazaza, who is wanted in connection with an ATM fraud syndicate.

Molefi is alleged to be part of a group that targets bank clients at ATMs by distracting them and stealing their bank cards, which are then used to withdraw cash.

He was previously arrested and appeared in court, where he was granted bail, but failed to return to the Klerksdorp Regional Court last week.

Authorities confirmed that Molefi has a history of theft-related offences, with convictions dating back to 2019, raising concerns about repeat criminal activity.

Police are urging anyone with information that could assist in tracking him down to come forward. Members of the public can contact the investigating officer, Warrant Officer Connie Nepgen, the Klerksdorp Detectives, or the branch commander. Anonymous tips can also be submitted via the MySAPS app or by calling Crime Stop.

The police stress that community cooperation is critical in ensuring Molefi is located and brought back before court.
