The Hawks spokesperson in Northern Cape, Lieutenant Col, Tebogo Thebe said in 2016, Alfred Ndlovu (50) was arrested by the Kimberley Specialised Commercial Crime Investigation team for intercepting email communication between the Gasegonyana Local Municipality and one of its service providers.
“Ndlovu changed the banking details of the service provider and as a result, the municipality effected payment to a fraudulent bank account to the value of R2.5 million.
“He was arrested after being positively identified through ATM recording, using a fraudulent bank card. It was further established during the arrest that, Ndlovu was in possession of a fraudulent identity document and passport,” he said.
Meanwhile, the acting Provincial Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, Brigadier Prince Mashimbye welcomed the sentencing of Ndlovu.
