The Polokwane Magistrates Court in Limpopo sentenced a 47-year-old man to two years imprisonment or pay a R5,000 fine for forgery and uttering against the South African Police Service (SAPS).
Matome Jack Senatla submitted fraudulent liability insurance forms at the SAPS provincial joint operational centre at Ladine in Westenburg policing area.
Senatla fraudulently submitted forms for providing security and insurance services at the Seshego AFM Youth Conference in May 2024.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, said a senior police officer suspected the forms might be fraudulent and verified with the insurance company and it denied any involvement.
The case was investigated further by the provincial commercial crime investigation unit and it was revealed that the documents were indeed fraudulent.
