A 45-YEAR-OLD man was sentenced to five years imprisonment with an option of a fine of R30 000 for fraud at the Brits Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. 

The Hawks spokesperson in North West, Capt Tlangelani Rikhotso said: “Calvin Kwinana who was employed by the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (SANEC) as an accountant reportedly misappropriated the company’s funds to the value of R268 000 which he transferred to his personal account. 

“The Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team resulted in the accused being arrested in 2015. He made a series of court appearances until his recent conviction and sentencing.”
