Johannesburg - An alleged fraudster sought by South African police has been arrested by Interpol at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, local police said on Monday.

The 47-year-old man was expected to stand trial soon for fraud in the Southern Cape after he was caught on Saturday, Brigadier Sally de Beer said in a statement.

He was wanted in South Africa for four cases of fraud totalling R3m.

They allegedly were committed in the Knysna and George areas.

He fled the country to the United States 18 months ago, only to be arrested in Miami for possession of stolen goods.

He lived in a boat at the time.

After spending a year in prison, the US immigration and customs enforcement agency deported him to South Africa, where he was arrested.

Sean Bagley says... @Isaac Clarke "the ANC is not in the western cape...?" This is clearly the pattern in which the ANC operates in the Western Cape.Helen Zille has asked for the police to investigate similar incidents in Khyealitsha a while back and ANC numbnut,Mthethwa,said NO categorically and what is worst he decided to dragged the Western Cape to court over it.The WEC and the parents of these kids in those schools have identified the schools that needed to be close down and the ANC and their "cheerleaders" in the Cape said the schools should remain open.The same ANC who were more than happy to close down 311 schools in the Eastern Cape and nearly a 1000 in the Free State,so why the reluctance to do the same thing in the Western Cape?
