Gauteng woman arrested for submitting fraudulent teaching qualifications at SACE headquarters
A woman has been arrested for submitting fraudulent teaching qualifications from UNISA.
A Gauteng woman was arrested for allegedly submitting fraudulent teaching qualifications from the University of South Africa (UNISA).
The woman was arrested on Tuesday while she was allegedly submitting the fake qualifications at the South African Council for Educators (SACE) head office in Centurion, Tshwane.
The council said the woman had been teaching with an alleged fake Unisa qualification and a fake SACE letter.
SACE has warned people with fake teaching documents or qualifications to stay away from its offices or schools as measures are in place to arrest them on the spot.
"The matter was reported to the South African Police Service (SAPS) and South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) as it involves a qualification. The council requests all applicants with misrepresented documents to stop submitting them to SACE," said SACE.
In another similar matter, a 41-year-old Mpumalanga woman, Ntombelanga Pretty Labane, was arrested for allegedly working as a schoolteacher using fake qualifications and earned over R1.2 million.
Allegations are that Labane does not have matric, although she holds a Bachelor of Education (B-ED) degree.
She allegedly used a fraudulent matric certificate to apply at the Walter Sisulu University, where she obtained her degree.

RAF ‘deliberately withholding' information from Scopa
The SIU tells us that one law firm has received an incredibly disproportionate portion of the work allocated by the RAF – Scopa chair. What is the RAF hiding, and why does its R1.2m-a-year chair not think it 'important enough' to make sure Scopa is given the information it asked for? Picture: Moneyweb The Road Accident Fund (RAF) has been accused of deliberately withholding information from Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) about the top 10 law firms to receive briefs and payments from the fund. Scopa chair Songeza Zibi said on Wednesday he has asked for this information twice, the first time on 6 November 2024. He now believes 'this information is being deliberately withheld from the committee for improper reasons'. 'In the intervening period, the SIU [Special Investigating Unit] came to brief the committee and one of the things that they told us is that one of the law firms has received an incredibly disproportionate portion of the work allocated by the RAF. 'We do not know who that law firm is but you can see why that information is pertinent.' He said he cannot understand 'why it is easy to provide the plaintiff information but it seems impossible to provide the corporate legal services information' when the committee has asked for it in writing and in the sitting. Zibi said one of the things he is concerned about is that there are names of law firms that appear on both the lists. ALSO READ: RAF CEO placed on special leave with full pay, as MPs grill fund What does the RAF chair say? RAF chair Lorraine Francois apologised for the information not being provided and assured the committee it will be provided. Zibi said his difficulty is that Francois was in the meeting and knew Scopa asked for this information, which has not been provided. Zibi said it would not be unfair to hold Francois responsible for the failure to provide this information because the board is the accounting authority. Francois said the RAF board secretary takes note of Scopa's requirements but they always assume that it is the responsibility of the RAF CEO and executive to put this information together. Controversial RAF CEO Collins Letsoalo was placed on special leave with full pay and benefits by the board on Tuesday as a precautionary measure, but it was stated that this did not constitute disciplinary action. ALSO READ: R25.5 billion deficit over five years — Can RAF afford to pay out claims? Francois said most of the time, the information requested gets submitted directly to Scopa. 'We are a non-executive board so we don't review everything that comes here directly. 'That is the responsibility of the executive. Now I take full accountability and will ensure this happens. But to respect the request of this committee, I will now get to that level to make sure we will provide this information,' she said. Scopa member Mark Burke of the DA took issue with her answer and asked her what her annual compensation is. Francois said it is about R1.2 million. 'You get paid R1.2 million, which is the equivalent of a parliamentary salary and in your mind it's too operational for you to respond to the [request] for information,' said Burke. 'That [it] is beyond the scope of your work. Does that seem reasonable to you?' Zibi said he would answer this question. 'You [Francois] didn't think it was important enough because I have raised it twice and you simply didn't bother to check. 'We are not asking you to be operational. I am asking you to ensure that the needs of the committee are met by way of information,' he said. ALSO READ: RAF national crisis demands urgent action – expert 'Terminate the board immediately' Scopa member Alan Beesley of ActionSA followed up by stating that he found Francois's response dumbfounding. 'I saw the list that [Zibi] asked for. It's not an extensive list,' said Beesley. He requested that Deputy Minister of Transport Mkhuleko Hlengwa write letters of termination immediately to the RAF board because it is acting with immunity at the moment and treating parliament with disrespect, which is totally unacceptable. Acting RAF CEO Phathutshedzo Lukhwareni said a panel of 43 law firms was appointed by the RAF in December 2023, but only 19 were briefed and paid during the 2023 and 2024 financial years 'at the time of preparing the report'. Lukhwareni said a total R6 million was paid to these law firms in 2023, and around R104 million in 2024. He said it is a panel (of law firms) and obviously the selection takes place depending on the complexity of the matter. ALSO READ: RAF at risk of imploding No state security clearance Scopa was also told that not a single member of the RAF's board or senior executive has a security clearance from the State Security Agency (SSA). Lukhwareni said all the forms have been submitted to the SSA for the vetting process and interviews have been held with some of the executives but 'from here on it's beyond our control from a RAF perspective and SSA is responsible'. Zibi said something does not match because on 16 October 2024 he had an exchange with Francois about the vetting of officials and one official, Letsoalo, was said to be vetted. Zibi pointed out that Letsoalo said in March 2025 that he had been vetted – and the difference between what he said then and the state of affairs now 'means for the second time he lied to the committee'. 'I asked him about the treasurer at the RAF and he [also] lied about that.' Scopa member Patrick Atkinson of the DA said Letsoalo – who was initially acting CEO of the RAF and has now been CEO for five years – has been without a security clearance for seven years. Atkinson said the problem with that is that (without clearance) Letsoalo has not been legally appointed to that position and the question then is how would he have the authority to take the legal action he has against the Auditor-General (AG). ALSO READ: Expert accuses RAF of misrepresenting itself and its purpose The RAF unsuccessfully applied to review and set aside the AG's disclaimer of the fund's 2020/2021 annual financial results and to declare the disclaimer invalid and unlawful. The AG issued the disclaimer because the RAF used an accounting standard it was not permitted to use. 'I understand the court might give him six months to get his security clearance but not seven years,' Atkinson said. 'If he has been operating for seven years without a security clearance, it raises a massive legal issue about a whole variety [of issues] about the accounting principles, not paying out medical aids and foreigners and a whole variety of board minutes which are illegal.' Zibi said he would have to take legal advice on that and would not hold the Department of Transport or RAF responsible for the tardiness of the SSA. He said Scopa will take that up with the responsible minister, but the committee needs to work out if Scopa was misled when the CEO told the committee that he had been vetted.

Progress made in metro's efforts to clean house
The Tshwane metro has intensified its efforts to rebuild institutional integrity and restore financial discipline through strong consequence management and a transparent approach to resolving wage disputes. Tshwane Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya recently conveyed that the Labour Court ruled in favour of the metro's exemption from implementing a 5.4% increase. It sent the matter of a 3.5% increase for the 2021/22 financial year back to the South African Local Government Bargaining Council (SALGBC) for reconsideration. Moya provided a six-month progress report on the work of the multiparty coalition government at Tshwane House on May 22. The metro held a meeting with Samwu and Imatu, the two recognised municipal unions, in response to the ruling. Although the unions expressed disappointment over the ruling on the 5.4% increase and reserved the right to appeal, all parties agreed to pursue mediation through the CCMA under Section 150 of the Labour Relations Act. 'This mediation process offers the best chance to reach a fair and sustainable outcome for our employees while maintaining the metro's financial stability,' said Moya. She commended both unions for engaging in open and transparent dialogue in the interest of Tshwane's workforce and uninterrupted service delivery. Moya also highlighted the metro's accelerated progress in addressing unauthorised, irregular, fruitless, and wasteful (UIFW) expenditure, an issue that has plagued the municipality's governance for years. The metro has completed investigations into R11.7-billion UIFW expenditure, with another R1-billion expected to be finalised before the end of the 2024/25 financial year. LISTEN: She said this marks a dramatic increase from the R1.2-billion investigated in the previous financial year. The metro has also recorded notable progress in disciplinary and legal actions: – 349 officials have been flagged for disciplinary proceedings (up from 126 in February 2025) – 44 cases have been referred for criminal prosecution. – More than 900 cases are now before the Financial Disciplinary Board, an enormous jump from just 70 cases earlier this year. – 85 officials have been dismissed, involving serious offences including sexual harassment, fraud, corruption, bribery, and dereliction of duty. Moya said five officials have been served letters of intention to suspend over mismanagement of the Refilwe and Cullinan stadiums, and a former Section 79 Chairperson has been referred to the Speaker for violating procurement policies. 'The metro is also moving to blacklist eight non-performing contractors, although delivery of formal notices has been challenging due to vacated premises.' Legal advice has prompted the metro to pursue blacklisting in absentia, which signalled a no-tolerance to underperformance and fraud. Moya said R36-million has been allocated in the new budget to Group Audit and Risk for forensic investigations to reinforce the metro's anti-corruption drive. 'These actions show that we are not merely making promises, but acting decisively to clean up governance, build public trust, and restore pride in the administration of our Capital City,' she said.

Tshwane makes strides in corruption fight as city tackles R13bn irregular expenditure backlog
Tshwane expects to conclude investigations into an additional R1 billion worth of irregular expenditure by the end of the 2024-2025 financial year. Tshwane Executive Mayor Nasiphi Moya announced significant progress in the city's fight against corruption, revealing that investigations into R11.7 billion worth of unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure have been completed this financial year alone. The mayor delivered the update during a progress briefing held at Tshwane House in Pretoria West on Thursday. The city expects to conclude investigations into an additional R1 billion worth of irregular expenditure by the end of the 2024-2025 financial year, bringing the total reduction to R12.7 billion from an initial balance of R13 billion. This represents a dramatic improvement from the previous financial year, when only R1.2 billion worth of investigations were completed. 'This has positioned the city to comply with commitments to the Agsa (Auditor General of South Africa) and National Treasury in respect of reducing historic UIFW balances,' Moya said. ALSO READ: Tshwane's R54.6bn budget draws mixed reactions Tshwane accelerates disciplinary action The intensified oversight has yielded concrete results in terms of accountability measures. The number of cases where disciplinary action has been recommended against officials has increased from 126 in February to 349 currently. Criminal prosecution referrals have risen from 39 to 44 cases, while over 900 cases have been referred to the financial disciplinary board, up from just 70 in February. The city has dismissed 85 officials, an increase from 77 reported in February. 'These dismissals range from sexual harassment, rape, to fraud and corruption, bribery, theft and dereliction of duty,' Moya explained. In a notable development, the mayor announced that a former section 79 chairperson will be referred to the Speaker's Office for investigation regarding violations of procurement policies. 'They said a councillor issued a letter giving permission to a private company to make use of our outdoor advertising space, which is outside our procurement processes,' she said. The long-awaited investigation into the Refilwe and Caledonian stadium projects has also concluded. 'I'm happy to announce the investigation was concluded, and there are five officials that have been issued with letters of intention to suspend,' Moya revealed.

Moya admitted that the city has faced challenges in serving these companies with formal notices, as many have vacated their registered addresses. 'Upon legal advice, the city will proceed with steps to have these companies blacklisted in absentia and restore [the] integrity of our panel of service providers,' Moya said. To support ongoing governance improvements, the budget allocates R36 million to group audit and risk for forensic investigations in the fight against corruption.

Following constructive meetings with the South African Municipal Workers Union (Samu) and the Independent Municipal and Allied Trade Union (Imatu), all parties agreed to participate in a mediation process under section 150 of the Labour Relations Act. 'All parties affirmed that mediation offers the best opportunity to reach a mutually beneficial outcome in a timely manner,' Moya said, while acknowledging that both unions expressed disappointment with the court's ruling on the 5.4% increase and reserved the right to appeal.
