The Star reports that ten people, including several Pikitup employees, have been arrested in southern Johannesburg over the past week on charges of fraud and misrepresentation.
A Pikitup spokesperson said two men dressed in Pikitup uniforms were arrested in Mondeor, after a member of the area Community Policing Forum questioned them about their presence in the area. “One of the two men had a fictitious Pikitup identification and a forged company letter head granting them permission to ask for donations from residents,” he advised. In the Glenvista and Bassonia area, four men, also pretending to be Pikitup employees were arrested. Three implicated Pikitup employees stationed at various depots will face internal disciplinary process. Pikitup does not permit its employees to solicit Christmas donations from residents.
