Johannesburg - Two men accused of defrauding a military general of R18 000 in a scam, are expected to appear in the Johannesburg Commercial Crimes Court on Monday, the Hawks said.
Spokesperson Captain Paul Ramaloko said the two Congolese men, aged 44 and 38, were arrested on Saturday after selling the general a powder they claimed could produce money.
They apparently told him that, using the powder, he would be able to convert dollars into nearly R10m.

South Africa's air force showed off its military might on Thursday with precision bombing and helicopter gunships firing fusillades of rockets just days ahead of an unprecedented "peace enforcing" deployment to eastern Congo. Two months after 13 troops were killed by rebels in Central African Republic in South Africa's heaviest military losses since the end of apartheid, Pretoria is gearing up to send 1,000 soldiers to Democratic Republic of Congo's volatile border with Rwanda and Uganda.
