TimesLIVE reports that a man in northern KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) was arrested on Wednesday after being “caught red-handed” printing fake security, matric and tertiary certificates.
Sources close to the investigation said the man, believed to be a Zimbabwean, was printing the certificates when police made the arrest. “About 7pm, members of Pongola crime prevention received information of a Zimbabwean who was making fake PSiRA (Private Security Industry Regulation Act), matric and tertiary certificates. Members reacted on the information and found the suspect in the process of printing the certificates.” The man was arrested and charged with fraud and forgery, while the certificates and laptops were seized. Earlier on Wednesday, police arrested two woman near Mtunzini, northern KZN, for allegedly submitting fraudulent matric certificates to a tertiary institution on registration day, but it is not known whether the two incidents are related.
