Updated | By Nushera Soodyal
A man and woman accused of defrauding the KZN Blind and Deaf Society of over R12 million over a six-year period have been denied bail.
Thirty-year-old Ruvanya Ramiah and 31-year-old Ayush Rambally were arrested in Estcourt nearly a month ago after evading police for some time.
They made another appearance in the Durban Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Tuesday.
KZN National Prosecution Authority spokesperson Natasha Kara says the pair face charges of fraud, theft and money laundering.

"The matter returns to court on 17 May 2022."
The money was allegedly stolen while Ramiah was employed at the society.
