The National Prosecuting Authority NPA has urged the public to report people impersonating government representatives or private company agents to solicit money in exchange for jobs .
This comes after the Ubombo Magistrates Court in KwaZulu-Natal fined a 33-year-old woman R4000 for three months in jail. Nozipho Mathunjwa was found guilty of impersonating a Human Settlements Department Manager.
She plead guilty to two counts of fraud amounting to R4000. The offences took place in the uMkhanyakude District in the northern part of KwaZulu-Natal. The NPA hopes that the finalisation of this matter serves as a deterrent to would-be offenders, says NPA provincial spokesperson, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara.
