News24 reports that a 54-year-old woman who was sought for five years for allegedly running bogus nursing colleges, was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport on Saturday after landing from Nigeria.
Limpopo police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo indicated: "The suspect managed to evade arrest and had been on the run since 2017 after she fled to Nigeria. The suspect allegedly ran bogus nursing colleges and fraudulently registered unsuspecting students under the pretext that they [would] acquire diplomas in nursing. The victims were also assured of employment across the province upon completion of their studies." Cases were opened in Polokwane, Morebeng, Thohoyandou, Waterval in Limpopo, and parts of Gauteng. The suspect was scheduled to appear in the Makhado Magistrate's Court on Monday. Meanwhile, two private schools in Johannesburg were shut down last week and several staff members were arrested. The police swooped in on Hillcrest International School and the Academy of Sciences, allegedly for operating without education department registration.
