CHILDREN OF SANDF CLERK IN COURT FOR FRAUD
Five children of an SA National Defence Force (SANDF) administration clerk appeared on fraud charges in a Pretoria court on Friday, the National Prosecuting Authority said.
Their mother will also appear in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Monday on a charge of making over-payments of about R1.1 million for non-existent SANDF reservists to her children's bank accounts.
A restraint order was issued on the woman, her three step-children and her two biological children and some of their assets were seized, said the NPA.
The assets included properties in Pretoria, six vehicles, a 125cc Honda motorbike, an insurance policy, pension benefits and numerous bank accounts.
The woman was employed from 1993 at the SA Defence Force, which later became the SANDF, as a senior administration clerk responsible for capturing information of army reservists being called up for courses and training sessions on the SANDF salary system.
During another investigation it was discovered that the woman allegedly created the impression that part-time army reservists were called up to attend courses or training sessions, knowing that this was untrue.
On completing their fictitious attendance, the woman used her own banking details as well as the details of her children.
