A senior financial controller at the Johannesburg fresh produce market has been arrested by the Hawks in connection with a multimillion-rand scam, while her accomplices appear to have fled overseas.

City of Joburg spokesperson Dudu Lushaba said the woman was apprehended on Monday afternoon, and police were on the trail of her accomplices, believed to be a work colleague and a friend. The woman will appear in the Johannesburg Commercial Crimes Court on Tuesday on charges of fraud.

“The guarantees were loaded into a buyer’s card belonging to a deceased person without the required supporting documents from the bank,” Lushaba explained. It is alleged that the pair worked with a third person who used the card to buy fruit and vegetables at the market, and then sold them off at discounted prices to various business owners.

Johannesburg mayor Mpho Moerane commended the Hawks and the city’s Group Forensic and Investigation Service for the breakthrough.
