PHOTO: Times of IndiaCarmelia Mngomezulu was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment after being found guilty on 762 counts of fraud when she appeared in the Palmridge Magistrate’s Court in Johannesburg. This comes after she was arrested at Protea Glen, Soweto on November 25, 2020 and later released on R5000 bail.
According to SAPS’ Colonel Philani Nkwalase, Mngomezulu
worked as a Senior Account Executive for Inyathi Pty (Ltd), a payroll company
between 2015 and 2018. Her duties among others were to authorize payments of the
company’s clients, pay the employees’ salaries and pay for repairs and maintenance.
“Internal audit was conducted and it was established that
Mngomezulu would occasionally transfer the company’s funds into her personal
account and those of her family members. The company suffered a financial loss
of approximately R3.7 million.”
A case docket was registered and handed over to the Hawks for
further investigations.
