Four suspects, Liezel Burger (40), Mahlodi Patricia Mongano (38), John Nhlanhla Radebe (31) and Lucky Maluleka (31) appeared before the Frankfort Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 26 September 2023, on charges of fraud and corruption after being allegedly involved in assisting people in Frankfort to obtain roadworthy certificates without their vehicles being tested at accredited roadworthy centres.
It is alleged that Liezel Burger, who happens to be the owner of Frankfort Lisensies acted as a mediator between the public and the other three accused, Mongano, Radebe and Maluleka, who are working at the privately owned licensing centres in KwaMhlanga, Giyani and Gqeberha.
An operation was conducted by the Hawks Serious Corruption Investigation team based in Bethlehem which revealed that a total of thirteen (13) vehicles received roadworthy certificates between the period of November 2021 and June 2022. About eleven certificates were issued from KwaMhlanga, one from Giyani and another one from Gqeberha.
The four accused were each granted bail of R2000 and they will be appearing again at Frankfort Regional Court on 18 October 2023.
