The National Credit Regulator has conducted raids in the Western Cape in the past week to root out credit providers who are contravening the National Credit Act.

NCA chairperson Didi Sedothma says areas that were affected include Woodstock, Wynberg, Bellville, Strand, Paarl, and Wellington.

Sedothma said “we have arrested five individuals who contravene to the National Credit Act with one additional person to be arrested by South African Police Service,”

“We found out these people were in possession of 71 pension cards, seven ID and five bank cards,” Sedothma added.
