A couple who allegedly defrauded a non-profit organisation of over R170,000 are expected to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
The suspects, aged 41 and 48, were arrested on Tuesday by members of the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation (known as Hawks) and are alleged to have defrauded a Zakah fund.
The Western Cape spokesperson for the Hawks, Lieutenant Colonel Siyabulela Vukubi, said the suspects were arrested on charges of fraud after warrants of arrest were executed.
“The Crimes Against the State (CATS) and National Priority Violent Crime (NPVC) teams of the Hawks, in conjunction with Lentegeur Visible Policing members, arrested the suspects on charges of fraud,” Vukubi said.
