Interpol has issued a wanted notice for an Australian woman suspected of murder and kidnapping offences in South Africa.

Monique Naiana Neeteson-Lemkes, 36, is named on the international police website, which states she is wanted for prosecution or to serve a sentence.

The order is reported to relate to the death of a restaurant worker - Thandiwe "Betty" Ketani - in South Africa in 1999.

Three men standing trial for the killing have cut a deal with authorities, implicating others including Neeteson-Lemkes, the ABC reports.

The victim allegedly worked for a business owned by Neeteson-Lemkes' father when she disappeared.

Neeteson-Lemkes denies the allegations and told the Seven Network she would not return to South Africa because she would not receive a fair trial.

Interpol has also issued a notice for Mark Lennox Lister, 37, a South African man believed to be living in Australia.

He too faces murder and kidnapping charges over Ms Ketani's death.
