A South African woman who duped various people into investing in an R. Kelly tour that never materialized, claims that she deposited the swindled millions into the singer's account.

According to The Times, Busiswe Zakwe swindled 13 million rand from investors in 2005 promising them that they would benefit from ticket sales if they brought R. Kelly to tour the country.

Kelly ended up not coming to the country and Zakwe was on the run for several months before she was apprehended.  Police only found 1.6 million rand in her possession and she claims that she deposited the remaining millions in Kelly's account.

Police have confirmed that the bank account information that Zakwe claims to be Kelly's is authentic but the whereabouts of the millions is unknown.  The police are now seeking to question Kelly about the cash.

“At this stage, we do not know if the money was returned to her,” said a local official, Petros Mchunu.

Zakwe, 46, is expected to plead guilty to 44 counts of fraud on September 10th.
