A man and a woman were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly running a bogus Further Education and Training College in Tzaneen, Limpopo police said.

Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said the 31-year-old man and the 34-year-old woman, both from Zimbabwe, were arrested after students asked the department of higher education about the college’s legitimacy.

“The matter was referred to the Hawks for investigation. It was revealed that the college was not registered with the department of higher education.”

The college had been using fake accreditation certificates since opening in 2008. The two were expected to appear soon in court.
