The Hawks have confirmed that they have seized the assets of a former secretary in the Mpumalanga Health Department.
The province’s division of the High Court granted the Hawks a preservation order to seize Sanele Sanderson’s house in Sunninghill, Johannesburg as well as three vehicles.
The assets are worth R2.5 million. It is alleged that she defrauded government funds which were meant for serving the community during the COVID-19 period in 2020.
“She received money through deceitful service providers who were paid and never provided. She provided fake delivery notes which were issued and payments were processed,” says Hawks’ Spokesperson Magonseni Nkosi.
Nkosi says part of the unlawful benefits were used to purchase a house worth a staggering amount of R1m, in Barberton.
“The current investigation on the other side proceeds and the directorate is adamant that an arrest will be effected when the investigation is concluded,” he adds.
