Nomsa was arrested and charged with fraud.
In a report, IOL said that Nomsa had been accused of pocketing R1.2 million meant for underprivileged learners.
She appeared in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court sitting in Palm Ridge on three charges of fraud, theft, and money laundering.
Nomsa was released on R20 000 bail and will appear in court again on September 4.
Meanwhile, Melzi is reportedly dating South African actress Lethabo Mekoa. She is known for her on-screen role in the local drama series Skeem Saam. The loved-up pair have been spotted on social media streets.
