A 33 year-old suspect from Magogoe village will be back at the Molopo Magistrate’s Court in Mahikeng on Thursday. Oscar Mompati Mmutlwane was arrested for traffic learnership recruitment scam and is expected to make his bail application.
Mmutlwane was formally charged and remanded in custody last week Wednesday. This was to allow the police to conduct further investigations in the matter. North West Community Safety and Transport Management department spokesperson, Thabo Sematle said: “It is alleged that the suspect claimed to be working for the department’s Head Office and responsible for the recruitment of traffic trainees. He was using names of certain departmental officials and collected bribes of R3 000 from different people promising to recruit them for traffic learnership training.
“We urge the public to constantly verify information relating to recruitment and learnerships directly with the department. Our department and the South African Police Services (SAPS) also appeal to members of the community who might have experienced the scam to come forth and report their cases to the Mahikeng Police Station.”
