“Through FNB’s forensic analysis, the matter was referred to the Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation at the Joburg office for investigation.
“An extensive investigation was conducted, which granted a warrant of arrest issued for Sibiya’s apprehension.” Mulamu said the resident from Ormonde, Joburg handed herself in, accompanied by her legal representative and the investigation team charged her with fraud.
