A couple has been arrested for allegedly raising R171 350 of funds to conduct Islamic studies and Qu’raan memorisation for underprivileged youth but apparently used it for their travelling expenses.
The Crimes Against the State(CATS) and National Priority Violent Crime( NPVC) teams of the Hawks in conjunction with Lentegeur Visible Policing arrested the suspects aged 48 and 41 yesterday.
They are expected to make their first appearance at the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court today.
