The Hawks yesterday reportedly arrested a Businessman believed to be Zimbabwean who owns Sam Holdings for acquiring his citizenship fraudulently. Trends Central wrote on their Twitter that Sam was arrested yesterday morning. Sam Mshengu according to the Citizen is believed to be under investigations that were initiated by the home affairs surrounding his citizenship status. Other reports are suggesting that he is actually from Zimbabwe and may have allegedly obtained his South African citizenship illegally.
