Extracted coal

The Financial Intelligence Centre and the Prosecutor-General’s Office, in partnership with South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority’s Asset Forfeiture Unit and SA’s  Financial Intelligence Centre, have seized around N$52.5 million from eight Namibian bank accounts.

The funds, linked to Jacobus Hosea Jordaan and his wife Elza Jordaan, are allegedly tied to illegal coal mining in Mpumalanga’s Carolina area. The case, which was first reported by News24 highlights strong cross-border cooperation between South African and Namibian authorities in combating illegal mining and related crimes.
