“It was discovered that she had opened a false case and she was arrested for perjury,” explained Capt George Raphulu, head of communications for the Germiston SAPS.
“It is hoped that this arrest will serve as a warning to the community not to open false cases, as it is a criminal offence.”
The accused was detained at the Germiston Police Station pending her appearance in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court.
