Two more suspects linked to company fleet card fraud handed themselves over to the police on Monday.
Sibongile Masuku (41) and Hazel Rufetu (49) are also alleged to be involved in the Hawks company fleet card fraud case, where eight other accused were arrested by the Hawks Middelburg-based Serious Commercial Crimes Investigation Unit.

One of the accused, Rwisai Rufetu, who was arrested in January, is still in custody, while other suspects have been released on bail.

A day after Rufetu was arrested, his co-accused was also arrested in Middelburg by the Hawks.

Six more suspects were also arrested in connection with the case, but were all released on bail.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Magonseni Nkosi, the Hawks spokesperson, Rufetu was arrested after an investigation by the Hawks into unauthorised transactions that were made from October to November in 2022, which led to his employer losing R935 301.

A total of 10 suspects have been apprehended by the Hawks in connection with this case so far.

Masuku and Hazel appeared at the Delmas Regional Court on Monday.

It is alleged that Masuku unlawfully benefitted from a total of R185 000, while Hazel benefitted from R290 296.

Masuku and Hazel were both released on R7 500 bail and will appear again on October 9.

The Provincial Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation in Mpumalanga, Major General Nico Gerber, commended the team that worked relentlessly to identify all the perpetrators who are systematically being rounded up. The bottom line is, “Crime does not pay,” as far as the Mpumalanga Hawks are concerned, added the general.
