A 33-year-old woman has been arrested for forgery and uttering after attempting to certify a fake certificate at the police station.
Zimasa Sopangisa went to the Dundee charge office to have her matric certificate certified, when police noticed that it looked suspicious. She then confessed that she bought the certificate from a foreign national.

She was then arrested and charged.

* Uttering and forgery were originally common law offences, both misdemeanours. Forgery was the creation of a forged document, with the intent to defraud; whereas uttering was merely use — the passing — of a forged document, that someone else had made, with the intent to defraud.
