The former acting commander of the Mount Fletcher policing cluster and commander of Mount Fletcher police station in the Eastern Cape was found guilty of fraud on Friday, the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation said.

Colonel Majoro Petros Moraba was sentenced in the Mount Fletcher Regional Court to a year in jail or a R10 000 fine, the Hawks’ Lieutenant Anelisa Feni confirmed.

In 2012 Colonel Moraba allegedly approached Mr Bilal Khan, a businessman in Mount Fletcher, to build for him 10 small residential flats next to the Mount Fletcher police station.

He said “He planned to rent these out to people who sought accommodation.”

 In exchange for building the flats, Moraba allegedly said he would give Khan a portion of the land as payment.
