Fleeing South Africa
Anthony Vaughan was the director of Media Nova as well as a selection of other media companies. His company got into debt, mainly with printers, and the amount owed reached as high as ZAR10 million. Media Nova was liquidated but Vaughan and his spouse had reportedly fled the country.
The Master of the High Court in Cape Town then issued a warrant for the arrest of Anthony Vaughan. He responded by writing a letter explaining why he was not present during an inquiry into Media Nova’s liquidation. In his own words, he said the following:
I have had to look overseas for business opportunities such that I can financially provide for my family. My family and I relocated overseas recently to pursue business opportunities more financially viable under the circumstances. We hope to return to South Africa in due course.
