Former Nelson Mandela Bay municipal spokesperson Roland Williams will spend the next four years in jail after he failed to refund an insurance company he defrauded.

“He then, reportedly, intentionally damaged the vehicle and submitted a say to his insurance company purporting to have been involved in along Addo Rd in Motherwell. The insurance company consequently suffered a loss to the tune of R96,000 as a result of Williams' criminal ways.”

About two years after the incident an informant approached the insurance company and alerted them of the swindle, Ramovha said. Williams was arrested in 2017 after an investigation by the Hawks. “The court sentenced Williams in January 2020 to 36 months' correctional supervision, a fine or 24 months' imprisonment. A further four years' imprisonment was suspended for five years. He was further ordered to repay R96,000 to Santam before May 21 2020 which he failed to do,” said Ramovha.

“The Hawks’ rearrested him on October 16 2020 for failure to comply with a court order. This has effectively put paid to his freedom.”
