Hillbrow Magistrates’ Court sentenced a man who lured victims from other provinces by advertising fake jobs to three years’ imprisonment on 3 November.
Siyabonga Hlekani (30) was arrested on 3 October and charged with theft under false pretenses.
Spokesperson for Yeoville Police Station, Captain Sifiso Mabizela said,”Detective Constable Zanele Sikhosana’s efforts in opposing the accused’s bail application and building a watertight case paid off.”
He continued, “The accused … opted to plead guilty on the overwhelming charges, possibly before other people could come out and also to try to push for a [heavier] sentence.”
