NATIONAL NEWS: Mother fakes daughter’s death for cash

"A 42-year-old woman reportedly faked her daughter’s death in order to claim insurance money".

A 16-year-old girl from Thohoyandou attempted suicide after she found out her mother reported her (the daughter) dead in order to claim insurance money.

The Bosveld Review reported that police investigations revealed a 42-year-old woman, Fulufhedzani Manngo conspired with a doctor at Tshilidzini Hospital, Sello Lebea, and a mortuary owner, Tshilidzi Nenzhelele, to fake her daughter’s death certificate in order for her to claim money from an insurance policy she took out  on her daughter’s life. The other two conspirators, an attendant at a funeral parlour who signed a form stating he collected the corpse, and an employee from Makwarela Home Affairs who issued the death certificate, have since died, said the Bosveld Review.

An amount of R20 400 was paid into Nenzhelele’s business account by the insurance company after Manngo put in her claim in 2008, reported the Bosveld Review.
