BRIGADIERS-GENERAL IN COURT ON FRAUD CHARGES.
The case against two SA National Defence Force generals arrested on fraud charges in November, was postponed in the Pretoria Regional Court on Tuesday to June 18 for further investigation.
Brigadiers-general Petronella Mari, 42, and Ernest Zwane, were not asked to plead during the brief court appearance. Their bail was extended.
Mari and Zwane were arrested by the elite Scorpions detective unit after they were allegedly found to have falsified their tertiary qualifications. Mari was also accused of falsifying her employment record.
Zwane, who worked in the SANDF's legal department, was earlier released on R5000 bail. Mari was in November freed on R4000 bail. She was employed in the human resources department of the SA Military Medical Service.
The two have not been suspended from the SANDF pending the outcome of the trial.
