During 2017, it is alleged that Sydwell Molala, who was working as an Accounting Clerk at Lephalale TVET College, worked together with Mokgere Anna Mamabolo, a Senior State Accountant, and Maxwell Claudius Chinyemba, a financial clerk, to defraud the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

 

They allegedly diverted money meant for student bursaries for their own benefit.

 

It is further alleged that they opened bank accounts in the names of family members, and two of them registered four companies to move and hide the money.

]]> The Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation in Welkom have arrested two suspects aged between 42 and 57 for fraud. 

 

According to the Free State Hawks Spokesperson Warrant Officer Fikizwa Matoti

the reports indicate that, during August 2019, the former Accounting Officer of the municipality in Bultfontein appointed a service provider to render debt collection services for the municipality, without following proper municipality supply chain procedures. As a result a payment to the amount of about R530 190.80 was transferred to the service provider’s bank account.

 

The matter came to the attention of the councillors after receiving a report from the Auditor General South Africa (AGSA) which revealed that the municipality made an irregular and wasteful expenditure on the appointment and payment of the service provider. The report further alleged that the service provider submitted fraudulent documents and invoices and he never rendered the services he was paid for.  As a result the municipality was prejudiced and suffered a loss of about R530 190.80.

 

A case was registered then referred to the Hawks Serious Commercial Crime Investigation in Welkom for further investigation.
