"Our two investigators will have a meeting with Kelly's lawyers at 1.30pm today in Sandton," said Superintendent Jay Naicker. The meeting was supposed to take place on Tuesday but was postponed because Kelly was too busy.

Naicker said a decision would be taken during Thursday's meeting in Johannesburg about when police would question Kelly on allegations he was involved in an investment scam.

Durban woman, Busisiwe Priscilla Zakwe, implicated R Kelly in an alleged investment scam that apparently swindled money out of more than 50 people, many of them pensioners.

State prosecutor Blackie Swart wrote a letter to Kelly's agent Jason Miller earlier this year requesting the singer to explain his involvement in the scam but he did not receive any response.

Zakwe was arrested in 2005 for allegedly taking thousands of rands from investors by promising them they would benefit from ticket sales if they brought an R Kelly tour to the country that year.

Kelly never appeared in the country, but Zakwe claimed she deposited R10,5 million into his account.

Naicker said police had been asked by prosecutors to question Kelly while he was in South Africa to perform.
