The Hawks spokesperson in the Northern Cape, Lieutenant Colonel Philani Nkwalase said: “The suspect allegedly submitted fraudulent travel claims exceeding R17 500. The investigations revealed that she allegedly used a state vehicle in October 2017 and fraudulently claimed official kilometres although she used her private vehicle whilst executing work-related duties.”
