Busiswe Zakwe of Durban, South Africa is accused of swindling people out of $1.5 million although she claims the money was deposited into R. Kelly's bank account. Zakwe allegedly duped people into investing into a R. Kelly tour of South Africa in 2005, in which Kelly failed to appear. 

Local police did confirm that they have a bank deposit slip which shows the money was put into the rappers' US bank account.

 

Officers say that now after confirming the authenticity of the account, they will be questioning R. Kelly about the money.

However, police officers say, “R Kelly didn’t come and she [allegedly] ran away with their money." Which has left police wondering why Zakwe deposited the money into R. Kelly's account, and what happened to the money.
