The Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crimes Unit in Gauteng have arrested a 29-year-old City of Johannesburg senior manager on allegations of fraud and corruption.

The suspect was arrested on Wednesday following a two year probe where the Candidate Building Valuer is accused of embezzling R40 million.

Gauteng Provincial Head for Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, Major General Prince Mokotedi is pleased with the arrest.

“The continuous efforts in rooting out corruption in government are yielding good results. We have committed ourselves to the citizens of South Africa that we will not relent from doing our job without fear or favour. These arrests should serve as a stern warning to those who are mistaken in thinking that they are invincible and difficult to detect,” he said.
