handcuffsNews24 reports that the Hawks last week arrested the owner of a Free State college for allegedly issuing a fake certificate to the chief financial officer (CFO) of one of the province's municipalities.

Hawks spokesperson Captain Christopher Singo said the 57-year-old owner of Africa Corporate Training Institute was arrested on Thursday. This came after he allegedly issued a fake certificate to Xolani Malindi, 34, who was arrested in December last year for allegedly submitting a fake certificate in his application for a higher post at the Nketoana Local Municipality. Singo indicated: “It was discovered during the shortlisting process that the qualification which was attached to his application was fraudulent. The matter was then reported to the Hawks' Serious Corruption Investigation team based in Bloemfontein." The man was scheduled to appear in the Bethlehem Magistrate's Court on Friday on a charge of issuing fraudulent qualifications.
