The provincial Hawks spokesperson Captain Matimba Maluleke said Kitshoff transferred R3.6m into her personal bank account without authorisation.
“The school discovered the alleged embezzlement and reported the matter to the Hawks,” he said.
Maluleke added that during the investigation, it was discovered that Kitshoff lost all the money to an investment scam.
She will next appear on November 18.
