Durban – Former KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Vincent Mdunge, who is accused of fraudulently presenting a fake matric certificate when he joined the police, is expected to appear in the Durban Regional Court.

He faces three charges of fraud.

Two of Mdunge’s fraud charges relate to his presentation of the alleged fraudulent certificate to the SA Police Service when he joined the police in 1987.

He resigned last year, after the allegation surfaced in September, and was arrested in October.

The third fraud charges relates to his presentation of the alleged fraudulent certificate to the University of South Africa to obtain admission for a course to obtain a National Diploma in Police Administration.

In March a provincial education department official told the court that the department had no record of a matric certificate for Mdunge, and the one Mdunge claimed was his had been “tampered unlawfully”.
