Hawks investigating Peet and Melany Viljoen for fraud with Tammy Taylor franchises
The Hawks are investigating Peet and Melany Viljoen for contraventions of the Companies Act in running Tammy Taylor Global Franchising. The Hawks confirmed this afternoon that they are investigating Peet and Melany Viljoen for fraud after a judge ordered in April that a copy of his order be forwarded to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for investigation and possible prosecution for not complying with the Companies Act. Brigadier Thandi Mbambo, spokesperson for the Hawks, confirmed that the Hawks are investigating the matter after a case was opened at the Sandton police station. Judge Joseph Raulinga made the order after a prospective Tammy Taylor franchisee, Lebohang Hlathuka, sued Tammy Taylor Global Franchising as well as both the Real Housewives of Pretoria star and her husband to get back the R600 000 she paid for a Tammy Taylor franchise. Hlathuka also argued that the way the Viljoens conducted the business of Tammy Taylor Global Franchise is prohibited by the Companies Act, as they were knowingly party to an act and omission calculated to defraud her, and asked the court to refer the matter to the NPA for investigation and prosecution. ALSO READ: Tammy Taylor Global Franchising gets a big hiding in South African high court Sections 214 and 216 of the Companies Act Section 214 of the Companies Act deals with false statements, reckless conduct and non-compliance. It renders a director or any person guilty of a criminal offence if the director or person was knowingly a party to an act or omission by a company calculated to defraud a creditor or employee of the company, or a holder of the company's securities or with another fraudulent purpose. Section 216 of the Act deals with the penalties for non-compliance with the Companies Act and provides that someone convicted of an offence in terms of the Companies Act is liable to a fine or imprisonment for up to ten years or both. ALSO READ: Judge orders Viljoens to immediately stop using Tammy Taylor trademark Judge agrees Tammy Taylor transaction was unconscionable, unjust and unreasonable In addition, Hlathuka asked the court to declare the transaction to buy a Tammy Taylor franchise unconscionable, unjust and unreasonable in terms of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and order Tammy Taylor Global Franchising and the Viljoens to immediately cease the sale of Tammy Taylor franchises in South Africa without first obtaining the necessary authorisation and/or license from the proprietor of the registered Tammy Taylor and associated trademarks in terms of the CPA. Raulinga declared the transaction unconscionable, unjust and unreasonable in terms of the CPA and void. In addition, he ordered that Tammy Taylor Global Franchising must refund Hlathuka her R600 000 with interest. He also ordered that Tammy Taylor Global Franchising, as well as both the Viljoens immediately cease representing that they have the legal authority to sell Tammy Taylor nail franchises in South Africa without permission under the Trademarks Act and without authorisation or a license. In addition, he ordered that they must remove all references to Tammy Taylor from their websites, stationery, forms, marketing material, salon products and social media platforms within 30 days from 25 April. Raulinga also ordered that the Viljoens must pay Hlathuka's legal costs. ALSO READ: VIDEO: Tammy Taylor sues Melany and Peet Viljoen for $100 million Viljoens planning to appeal, on holiday in Perth to start Tammy Taylor franchise The lawyer acting for Tammy Taylor Global Franchising and the Viljoens informed Hlathuka's lawyer that they will appeal the order. After private investigator Mike Bolhuis stated last week that the Viljoens planned to leave South Africa by 24 May, Peet Viljoen told Rapport newspaper that they are going on holiday to Perth in Australia where they will open a franchise. Bolhuis alleged that the Viljoens already sold some of their assets to finance their 'attempt to leave South Africa'. He added that the Viljoens are being investigated for fraud, theft, intimidation, extortion, harassment and contravention of the Cybercrimes Act. The Viljoens did not respond to a request for comment.

Tiger Brands reports 78% earnings jump while addressing listeriosis claims
Tiger Brands, a JSE-listed company, has reported a remarkable 78% increase in earnings per share for the first half of the year, driven by the sale of non-core units. As the company navigates the complexities of settling claims from the 2017 listeriosis outbreak, it remains committed to achieving a resolution 'as soon as possible' JSE-listed Tiger Brands, which recorded a 78% jump in earnings per share in its first half to the end of March on the back of sales of non-core units, reiterated its resolve to settle claims relating to 2017 massive listeriosis outbreak 'as soon as possible'. Tiger Brands has not disclosed the full value of the settlement, which it said it had presented as a total amount at the end of April, although it has stated it has enough insurance to cover the claims. In a recent statement, it also refused to accept liability. 'The offer is subject to certain conditions and has been made without admission of liability and in full and final settlement of the claims of the claimants,' it said. What has been called the largest listeria outbreak in South Africa's history happened in 2017. It was traced to Tiger Brands' Enterprise Foods facility in Polokwane and resulted in 218 deaths and close on 1,000 infections. The settlement process now moves quantifying individual damages for eligible claimants as well as attorneys taking those offers to the plaintiffs. 'Tiger Brands and its insurers remain committed to achieving a just resolution of the listeriosis class action as soon as possible,' it said. Africa's largest food producer posted a 17.6% jump in headline earnings per share, a figure that strips out profit from sales of units, to 951c for the interim period, despite ongoing inflationary pressure and a consumer base still watching every rand. Tiger Brands' price inflation of 2.1% helped offset the flat volumes, leading to revenue improving 1.9% to R18.5 billion. 'Despite early signs of economic recovery offering some much-needed relief, consumers remain under pressure and continue to seek value in their food basket,' said CEO Tjaart Kruger. The company is sticking to its cost-cutting plans, optimising logistics, engineering value into recipes and packaging, and squeezing more efficiency out of its factories, to protect margins and keep products affordable. Tiger Brands continues to focus on trimming non-core assets, with the sale of the Baby Wellbeing division and a 24.4% stake in Chile-based company, Empresas Carozzi bringing in R4.4bn during the period and another R600 million received in April. Having sold those entities, as well as its Langeberg & Ashton Foods business, it said it has entered into a deal to sell its Wheat Mill and Maize unit in Randfontein. Tiger Brands did not provide more details, although it noted that selling non-core entities to ensure it has a 'competitive edge' and can win market share. Shareholders are set to benefit from a special dividend of 1 216 cents per share, returning R1.8bn to investors, pending approval from, the South African Reserve Bank. Management says this strikes a balance between rewarding investors and maintaining the flexibility needed for sustainable growth. 'Tiger Brands has achieved growth in line with guidance, underpinned by a continued focus on driving value for consumers, execution of key strategic priorities, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives of logistics optimisation, value engineering and factory efficiencies,' it said.

Senior manager claims she was removed after blowing whistle on scam at Uitenhage hospital
The acting district manager for Nelson Mandela Bay's clinics and the Uitenhage Provincial Hospital claims she was removed from her position because she exposed a scam at the Uitenhage hospital. The acting district manager for Nelson Mandela Bay's clinics and Uitenhage Provincial Hospital, Sonia Lupondwana, has been removed from her position. Lupondwana claimed on Tuesday that she was being 'silenced' because she blew the whistle on a scam at Uitenhage Provincial Hospital, inside which she claimed state officials were running a private hospital for payment using resources from the Eastern Cape Department of Health. The department's spokesperson, Siyanda Manana, said Lupondwana's claims were false. He confirmed that a rogue private hospital was being run from inside the Uitenhage Provincial Hospital, but said that staff members, not Lupondwana, had informed the department of this. 'We are investigating. Surely we won't silence a person who means good. If we did, it means we are part of the corruption,' he said. The head of the department, Dr Rolene Wagner, wrote to Lupondwana that she had instituted an investigation into the issues raised by her. Wagner added that Lupondwana would be reassigned as the director of primary healthcare — a position that reports to the district manager. Before this, staff at the district health office lodged a litany of complaints against Lupondwana at the provincial legislature in an unsuccessful attempt to have her removed. The allegations included that Lupondwana failed to act during a life-threatening strike at the Uitenhage Provincial Hospital this month. Community cries for help in that instance led to Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Health getting involved in an attempt to restore services at the hospital. Lupondwana said she failed to intervene because she had been suffering from raised blood pressure and could not deal with an emotionally charged issue like the strike. In a letter to Wagner, Lupondwana alleged that road accident files at the hospital were sold for R600 each, that car tyres were bought for private individuals using the hospital's budget and that parts of the hospital were run as a private hospital using state resources. She said she had to handle the strike without assistance. Manana said Lupondwana had been appointed to her position pending a review of the department's organisational structure. 'Her moving to her substantive post as director for primary healthcare is standard administrative practice and does not amount to a suspension or punitive action,' he said. 'Our primary objective is to improve service delivery to the people of Nelson Mandela Bay. This requires teamwork, collaboration and focus. 'The department is unable to comment in detail on the ongoing internal processes, but we wish to state that no disciplinary action has been instituted against Lupondwana at this time. Any internal preliminary assessments or investigations do not equate to formal disciplinary action. 'Should formal processes be initiated, due process will be followed and the employee concerned will be informed accordingly.' Lupondwana said she had obtained a court order for her to be appointed as the district health manager, and that only the MEC, Ntandokazi Capa, could remove her.
