Sibongile Rose Khuzwayo, 48, and Nonjabulo Bahle Mabuza, 31, were arrested on Thursday last week by the Hawks serious commercial crime investigation unit after it transpired that they allegedly presented fake qualifications to land posts at Seme Secondary School near Daggakraal.  Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations (Hawks) spokesperson Captain Dineo Lucy Sekgotodi said:  "Both suspects practised as teachers for eight and two years respectively.  It is alleged that the Mpumalanga department of education suffered a combined loss of more than R2.4 million.”  Their case has been postponed to 6 February 2019 in the Volksrust Regional Court to afford them an opportunity to apply for legal representation.
