Recap: In Part One we saw how Zimbabwean pastor Frank Sadiqi managed to become one of the country\u2019s biggest Krugerrand traders, buying a staggering R19-billion\u2019s worth between late 2017 and 2020. Much of this was apparently destined for illegal use in a massive tax scam before Rand Refinery withdrew his trading license.<\/em> Sadiqi\u2019s African Medallion Group (AMG) sold mainly to four related parties, but what happened behind the screen of self-dealing?<\/em> In Part Two<\/strong> we see how his operation plugged into the network of two notorious players: Andries Greyvenstein and Howard \u201cHowie\u201d Baker.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Frank Sadiqi might have spent some R19-billion buying Krugerrands, but where did all that money actually come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARS has accused him of supplying coins in bulk to the illicit gold supply chain so that they could be illegally smelted as part of a colossal VAT scam. But who made up the rest of that chain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AmaBhungane can\u2019t access the whole history of Sadiqi’s African Medallion Group, but the voluminous bank statements we do have for him and related parties show that practically all his income, at least up to late 2018, arrived directly or indirectly from one place: Asset Movement Financial Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later known as AMFS Solutions, this notorious \u201ccash-in-transit\u201d company was created by gold trader Andries Greyvenstein and was linked to alleged money launderer Howie Baker. AmaBhungane has previously reported on Baker\u2019s links to Zimbabwean tobacco mogul Simon Rudland and on the company\u2019s operations (here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readers will recall that Baker was, from 2019 onwards, also the owner of Rappa Resources \u2013 the gold export refinery targeted by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) to try to recover proceeds of what SARS claims was a multi-billion rand gold VAT scam (as we canvassed in Part One<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South African lawyer Raees Saint, who represents Baker, did not reply to our request for comment but previously told amaBhungane that his clients will not tolerate any insinuation of illegal conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To recap, the basic idea behind the VAT scheme is smelting down VAT-free Krugerrands (which is illegal) and passing them off as \u201cscrap\u201d gold (which does carry VAT) in order to claim refunds adding up to billions of rands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, it is important to understand that AMFS has been accused, not least by SARS, of effectively being an unregistered bank that just moved money from one place to another, with most of its business allegedly directed personally by Baker through daily email instructions. The Zondo Commission of Inquiry recommended that AMFS be investigated by the Hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, Krugerrand harvester AMG got most of its money from AMFS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of money.  In the first year of existence of Sadiqi\u2019s Krugerrand business \u2013 late 2017 to late 2018 \u2013 we can trace a total of R5-billion paid to the coin dealer from AMFS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A close analysis of the books for this period, however, shows that the money we can trace going to AMG via AMFS came largely from just one place: micro-refinery The Gold Kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One would think that The Gold Kid, as a refinery, could have no business with a Krugerrand dealer, directly or indirectly, given that the smelting of Krugerrands is illegal. However, as the bank statements show, it appears that The Gold Kid was dealing with AMG at an industrial level through AMFS, as we will see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until its demise at the end of 2018 The Gold Kid was owned by Greyvensteyn, while Baker was at different times also a shareholder and an employee, using a company email address in emails we have copies of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold Kid\u2019s income in turn also came from pretty much one place: the aforementioned Rappa Resources, to which Gold Kid sold 8 662kg of gold in the period covered by our bank statements.
A high-level summary of Gold Kid\u2019s income and expenses from 2016 through to the end of 2018, which has been filed in court by SARS, suggests that 90% of sales were to Rappa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, Baker and company finally took control of Rappa as well, in a R1-billion deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rappa\u2019s CEO Gary Bickerton told us, however, that Baker first approached them with a takeover plan as early as 2015, just as AMFS was founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps tellingly, Bickerton claims that Simon Rudland \u2013 the man believed by some to be the force behind Baker \u2013 was at the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rappa has been locked in a legal battle with SARS for several years about VAT refunds that have been withheld. A separate preservation order SARS obtained against Baker in 2022 means that the taxman\u2019s curator now technically owns the refinery it is doing battle with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr Baker was simply a shareholder of Rappa and was never involved in the operation, management or transactions of Rappa. Mr Baker is no longer a shareholder of Rappa and no longer has a relationship with the company,\u201d says Bickerton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe place it on record that Rappa pays VAT on all its purchases reflected in tax invoices and claims VAT input credits completely in line with provisions of the VAT Act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRappa is aware of payments to Gold Kid for supplies made to Rappa but cannot comment on what Gold Kid did with payments received from Rappa. Rappa has never dealt with the cash-in-transit group AMFS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[read Rappa\u2019s full response here<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we show next, however, The Gold Kid used a large proportion of its receipts from Rappa to buy Krugerrands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route One: From The Gold Kid to AMG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greyvensteyn\u2019s lawyers, in response to questions, were adamant that The Gold Kid never bought Krugerrands from Sadiqi\u2019s African Medallion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we will show, the evidence points decidedly in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This suspicion is strengthened by SARS\u2019 own figures, which show it has attempted to claw back from The Gold Kid around R1-billion in allegedly invalid tax claims for the 2016-2020 period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gold Kid, as we\u2019ll see, claimed it bought gold not as Krugerrands from Sadiqi, but as thousands of small jewellery and scrap gold purchases for which it could claim input tax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to questions about the apparent Krugerrand purchases it made, The Gold Kid succinctly told us that it \u201cdenies having done so\u201d and that as a consequence there \u201cis no need to answer\u201d additional questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did, however, give more extensive answers in affidavits filed in an ongoing court battle with SARS, about which more below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here is why The Gold Kid\u2019s story does not add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refinery to Refinery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AmaBhungane is in possession of a trove of internal emails from AMFS, as well as bank statements for nearly all involved parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, these seem to show that The Gold Kid\u2019s vociferous denial that it ever did business with African Medallion rings spectacularly hollow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AmaBhungane\u2019s analysis of these documents appears to show that the opposite is true, on a massive scale. A SARS letter of findings filed in court shows that the taxman arrived at a similar conclusion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 20 September 2017, around the time African Medallion got a license from Rand Refinery to sell Krugerrands, Howie Baker sent an email to AMFS\u2019 nominal owner and administrator Kalandra Viljoen, affectionately known as Lallie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker copied in Lize Muller, The Gold Kid\u2019s finance manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The email reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Lallie,<\/em>
Please can you do this transfer:<\/em>
African Medallion (Pty) Ltd<\/em>
FNB<\/em>
Branch: 204809
Account:XXXXXX11 58<\/em>
Ref: Asset Management<\/em>
Amount: 5,850,000<\/em>
Thanks very much.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just so happens that on the previous evening The Gold Kid had made two payments equaling exactly R5 850 000 into AMFS\u2019 bank account using matching reference numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as Baker\u2019s email came in, AMFS paid forward the combined R5 850 000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bank statements for African Medallion show this amount arriving with the reference \u201cAsset Management\u201d, as directed in Baker\u2019s email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately afterwards, African Medallion received another R1-million from another party and then paid R6 874 000 to Gold Reef City Mint, another Krugerrand dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chain of payments can be seen here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If we return to the R5 850 000, The Gold Kid\u2019s internal records show that there was an apparent attempt to hide these transactions from SARS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence shows that The Gold Kid claimed it made payment of two invoices to a supplier named Jewellery Dynasty totalling R6,25-million. These used the invoice references JG81 and JG82 \u2013 the same invoice references used for the payments that actually went to African Medallion, for which we have seen no invoices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also no payments to Jewellery Dynasty to be found in either The Gold Kid or AMFS\u2019 bank accounts. This indicates that Jewellery Dynasty was most likely one of many \u201cinvoice factories\u201d used by The Gold Kid, as we explain below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Extract from SARS letter of findings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taking into account what we\u2019ve described above, it seems clear that The Gold Kid was doing business with African Medallion despite its denials and attempting to hide the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another transaction reinforces this point and adds another layer of apparent subterfuge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 28 September 2017 Baker sent one of his emails to Viljoen at AMFS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Lallie,<\/em>
Please can you do these transfers:<\/em>
African Medallion (Pty) Ltd<\/em>
FNB<\/em>
Branch: 204809<\/em>
Account: XXXXXX1158<\/em>
Ref: Asset Management<\/em>
Amount: 9,000,000<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Ian Frank Properties<\/em>
FNB<\/em>
Account: XXXXXX7120<\/em>
Amount: 9,000,000<\/em>
Thanks very much.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the same day he sent two more missives adding two additional payments for African Medallion \u2013 another R9-million and then R647 411,34, also for African Medallion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This set off a slightly more complicated chain of transactions, and the evidence suggests that the payment to Ian Frank Properties, a company owned by Sadiqi, was in reality also meant for African Medallion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail went as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the day of the email The Gold Kid\u2019s account shows six outgoing payments totalling R25 720 000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At AMFS these payments can be seen arriving with the same reference codes. AMFS then duly makes the four payments Baker had requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bank statements for African Medallion shows its three direct payments totalling R18 647 411,34 arriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, bank statements for Ian Frank Properties also show its R9-million arriving. It, however, immediately makes a payment of R8 834 050. The recipient: also African Medallion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Sadiqi companies, notably one named Hamilton Lifestyle, also appear to have functioned as conduits in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now all four payments ordered by Baker are sitting with African Medallion (minus a small amount retained by Ian Frank Properties).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as all this money was consolidated in the account of African Medallion, the company made a payment of R24 636 307 to Rand Refinery with the reference \u201cKR\u201d \u2013 quite likely an abbreviation for Krugerrand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is thus an immediate and unbroken chain of payments from The Gold Kid to Rand Refinery, the ultimate source of South Africa\u2019s Krugerrands, via African Medallion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, this makes The Gold Kid\u2019s denials implausible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are countless examples like these in the statements. In every case the chain of transactions is preceded by an email from Baker. And in every case, he copies in a representative from The Gold Kid \u2013 either Greyvensteyn\u2019s sister Veronica, who was effectively the CEO, or finance manager Lize Muller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the Baker emails serve to bring Andries Grevensteyn himself more clearly into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 20 November 2017, Baker emailed Viljoen asking for a R5-million payment to African Medallion. Viljoen however responded that The Gold Kid only had a balance of R4-million at AMFS that day \u2013 an amount statements confirm Greyvensteyn\u2019s refinery paying over to AMFS the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker responds that \u201cAndries\u201d (in context a clear reference to Greyvensteyn) had told him to \u201cexpect 5\u201d but tells Viljoen to go ahead with the smaller amount as suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This then follows the same path described for the other transactions above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On another occasion, Baker ordered R4 050 000 for each of Sadiqi\u2019s other companies Ian Frank Properties and Hamilton Lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalandra Viljoen, however, sends him a panicked email making reference to a conversation with \u201cA\u201d \u2013 she was worried she had accidentally used another client\u2019s money to carry out Baker\u2019s orders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Howie,<\/em> A spoke to me this morning about 25 coming in, so far R14 430 000 has come in. Can you confirm it is yours. (If not, then I will pooop my pants as I just spent some of it on these payments). I will actually cry!!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For what it is worth, Baker assured her that it was in fact The Gold Kid\u2019s money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This incident, however, shows how AMFS functioned as a fairly chaotic hawala system \u2013 a system that simply inserts a third party into a transaction in an apparent attempt to obscure the source of funds.

This is reinforced by the fact that not one of the many payments to African Medallion, or really most clients of AMFS, actually involved any physical cash at all \u2013 perhaps somewhat strange for a \u201ccash-in-transit\u201d company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After its initial denial that it had had dealings with African Medallion, amaBhungane confronted The Gold Kid with a number of documented chains of payments like those above, to which they chose not to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refinery\u2019s lawyers also threatened to pursue amaBhungane for being in \u201ccriminal\u201d possession of its private information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millions to billions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emails only cover the first few months of the relationship between The Gold Kid and African Medallion, but already add up to orders of over R250-million directly to African Medallion and R400-million indirectly through Ian Frank Properties. As noted, the pattern of payments via AMFS continued for a long time afterwards, adding up to R5-billion in late 2018, where we lose the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have matching payments, but no emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cannot say unequivocally that all or most of this R5-billion came from The Gold Kid beyond the fact that our data shows a similar pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

African Medallion ultimately sold R19-billion in Krugerrands in the course of its operations between 2017 and 2021, but we don\u2019t know how much of the balance came from AMFS either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoke and mirrors

<\/strong>While bank statements seemingly betray the nature of Gold Kid\u2019s relationship with African Medallion, Greyvensteyn\u2019s company\u2019s books tell an entirely different \u201cofficial\u201d story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An audit and subsequent letter of findings by SARS into Gold Kid last year alleged the use of large-scale invoice factories to provide cover for, among other things, its indirect payments to AMG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An invoice factory is a company with no real business set up to provide tax invoices for transactions that actually involve completely different people. These invoices are key to the VAT tax scam because they are what gets submitted to SARS to maintain the fiction that VAT has been paid on, for instance, tax-free Krugerrands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In submissions to SARS, Gold Kid claimed to have very few suppliers, suppliers it paid just over R10-billion for gold from 2016 onwards. One allegedly major supplier was Bhekusifiso Scrap, from which Gold Kid supposedly bought R2-billion of that gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that the actual payments to Bhekusifiso SARS could find amount to a grand total of 1,47% of the stated figure. Gold Kid\u2019s bank statements are littered with small payments in the tens of thousands to this supposedly huge supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, records for Howie Baker himself show that he personally paid R750 000 to Bhekusifiso in September 2014 for a \u201cshare subscription\u201d. This belies the claim that Bhekusifiso is independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same applies to other supposed major gold suppliers on The Gold Kid\u2019s books. One of them, Encantador, was supposedly paid R1.22-billion for gold. According to SARS, however, it actually received about 0,15% of this figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another is Jewellery Dynasty, which supposedly sold The Gold Kid gold worth R1,87-billion. It was actually paid 0,65% of that, says SARS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taken as a whole, Gold Kid\u2019s supposed supplier payments bear no resemblance to its real expenditure at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Almost all payments actually went to AMFS (which appears twice in the list above because it changed its name under new ownership during the period) and, as we have seen, a very large proportion of that was destined for AMG, which does not appear on the \u201cofficial\u201d list of suppliers at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to questions, The Gold Kid provided an explanation for the discrepancies: the payments to the \u201csuppliers\u201d were in fact made via AMFS. What is more, The Gold Kid claims that these suppliers would have been giving AMFS instructions as to where to pay their money, so The Gold Kid really has no hand in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seems not only disingenuous but also logically impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disingenuous because the payments to, among others, African Medallion were made on the express instruction of Baker (with The Gold Kid\u2019s representatives copied), not on the instruction of the supposed suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logically impossible because the scale of payments to African Medallion and other more damning recipients (which we will get to) have to be seen in the context of the grand total of R10-billion in payments The Gold Kid made in the relevant period \u2013 2016 through 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the alleged suppliers were making instructions to AMFS that we do not have sight of, these could never be as large as claimed simply because more than half of The Gold Kid\u2019s outward payments are already accounted for by Baker\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confronted with this observation The Gold Kid still chose silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has, however, mounted a far more vociferous defence in an ongoing court battle with SARS stemming from the taxman obtaining a provisional preservation order against Greyvensteyn in his personal capacity in February last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battle royale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARS\u2019s claim against Greyvensteyn is roughly R1-billion, with the express threat of adding a 200% penalty to bring the total to R3-billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technical basis of SARS\u2019s claim is that the suppliers that supposedly sold The Gold Kid its gold never actually supplied it and were in fact never paid, which means that VAT was also never paid as claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main evidence SARS is using relates to the kinds of payments to entities like African Medallion we saw above, which coincide with alleged payments to the suppliers Gold Kid claims to have, but for which there is no record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf regard is had to the detailed letter of audit findings and the analysis of Gold Kid’s bank statements it reflects, in certain instances, that Gold Kid only paid a fraction of the invoice amount to its suppliers,\u201d said SARS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greyvensteyn has not responded to any of this in great detail, but in an affidavit called SARS\u2019 findings a \u201chalf-baked conspiracy theory\u201d and the conclusions it has drawn about The Gold Kid buying massive amounts of Krugerrands \u201csimply a theoretical conclusion\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He claims that, on the contrary, \u201cGold Kid has meticulously recorded all transactions in its administrative systems, and I will in due course deal extensively with these recordals and demonstrate that every single transaction took place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen in due course I deal with the substantive issues with regards to the letter of audit findings, assessment and the present application, I will provide extensive documentary evidence of the trades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, however, Greyvensteyn has promised to take the legal battle down a path that will possibly delay the need to present this alleged ironclad evidence for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, he launched an interlocutory application to put SARS\u2019 case against him on ice, saying he wants to challenge the constitutionality of the parts of the Tax Administration Act SARS is using to hold him liable for The Gold Kid\u2019s tax debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This challenge was drawn up in May last year, but it is unclear if it ever got filed. Meanwhile SARS\u2019 case to lay claim to all of Greyvensteyn\u2019s assets has been repeatedly postponed, most recently last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is, however, not SARS and The Gold Kid\u2019s first rodeo. The taxman tried to hold the refinery accountable for allegedly fake gold purchases in the past but could not muster the evidence it needed. Following two different commissions of inquiry and several investigative audits of industry role-players, SARS claims that \u201cthis time around it is able to do so\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the evidence above seems to show that The Gold Kid was a major force in the illegal introduction of Krugerrands into the gold supply chain, following the money up the chain takes things much further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evidence suggests that lot of the money being spent to buy gold and make other huge transfers out of The Gold Kid\u2019s accounts didn\u2019t come from gold sales at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round and around<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, and as we will show later in this series, the Gold Kid was seemingly both the source and destination of billions flowing through what looks like a sprawling money laundering network that carried out at least two tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One was providing The Gold Kid with cash to buy gold which it could sell as part of the VAT scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other was the laundering of funds for a variety of parties, not least Baker and his presumed boss, Simon Rudland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One central node in all of this was a company in Dubai called Aulion Global Trading \u2013 another joint creation of Baker and Greyvensteyn which they registered in 2015 and which Baker liquidated in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While The Gold Kid and AMFS were key cogs in an epic machine built around Aulion, they were also far from alone, as we will see in Part Four of this series. In our next instalment, however, we first take a slight detour to the East Rand of Johannesburg to see how the VAT scam is allegedly evolving to evade the authorities\u2019 best efforts to quash it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
