Couple in court for allegedly stealing millions from deceased estates.
Prosecutors have added another fraud charge against a couple accused of allegedly stealing and laundering millions from deceased estates after a new complainant reported losing over R1.3 million from a deceased estate.
Attorney Charlotte Tibana and her husband, Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD) officer Peter Nonyane, also known as "Gagash", appeared in the Polokwane Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, 26 August 2026, for the continuation of their bail application, where the State successfully applied to join an additional charge to the existing case.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson Mashudu Malabi, said the latest complainant, from Mokgadi Moetji, alleges she was defrauded over R1.3 million from a deceased estate administered by Tibana.
The new allegation brings the total number of deceased estates linked to the case to four, with the combined value of the alleged fraud and money laundering scheme now exceeding R4 million.
