Media Statement FREE STATE – Robin Teboho Moloi (52) and his company, RNT Management Services, were on 17 May 2024 sentenced by the Bloemfontein Regional Court after they were found guilty on six counts of fraud and Contravention of Section 235 (1)(a) of the Tax Administration Act of 28 of 2011. In 2020, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) lodged an internal investigation against Moloi and his company for possible tax offences.

As a result, SARS was prejudiced and suffered a loss of about R6,6 million.

The Bloemfontein Regional Court sentenced RNT Management Services on five counts of fraud to a fine of R1 million which is suspended for five years on condition that the accused is not convicted of fraud and contravention of Tax Administration Act committed during the period of suspension. On the sixth count, the same company was sentenced to another fine of R1 million wholly suspended for five years on condition that the company is not convicted of fraud and contravention of the Tax Administration Act during the period of suspension.
