Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Philani Nkwalase said the 44-year-old company director was arrested by the Hawks Serious Commercial Crime Unit this week for fraud worth over R519 000.
“It is alleged that the company and its sole director submitted fraudulent documents to the Department of Public Works purporting that they have paid a substantial amount to their subcontractor contracted to render a service to the state,” said Nkwalase. “The department reported the matter to the Hawks, who after investigation realised an element of misrepresentation,” said Nkwalase.
