“The arrests comes a day after the capture of seven officials for allegedly using the identity particulars of unsuspecting victims to authorise roadworthy certificates for vehicles that were never physically subjected to mandatory tests.”
The suspects, together with the group that was arrested on Monday, are expected to make their first appearance before the Lephalale Magistrate’s Court today (Wednesday, 10 April) on charges of fraud and corruption.
