The signature of a Johannesburg property company employee who died six years ago was allegedly used in one of the illegal transfers of city-owned properties at the centre of an elaborate fraudulent scheme.
According to court papers filed before the Johannesburg high court, Sthembiso Zwelibanzi Mntungwa, who died on December 23 2020, allegedly gave power of attorney on January 26 2025 for the transfer of city property to private hands.
Mtungwa was an executive property portfolio manager at the Joburg Property Company JPC at the time of his death.
