A warrant for immediate arrest has been issued for a 22-year-old student who was nabbed while trying to leave South Africa with cash worth over R9m in US dollars.
Farooz Salem failed to make an appearance at the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on Thursday where she was meant to plead and also reveal to the court where she got the cash from.
Advocate Ori Moloi, for Salem, told Magistrate V Krishna that he had been informed his client was not feeling well.
Moloi said he would consult further with Salem.
