An East London woman allegedly used fake documents to defraud Capitec Bank out of R95 000.
Thembi Mandlana appeared in the East London Magistrate’s Court where she was charged with three counts of fraud, forgery and uttering.
State prosecutor Advocate Wayne Jafta told the court the woman had visited Capitec Bank in Hemingways Mall on April 1 2016 to apply for a loan.
It is the state’s case that the unemployed Mandlana allegedly produced personal documents stating that she was gainfully employed by the department of education.
The state claims Mandlana was aware that she was supplying false documents and that she had no intention of repaying or servicing the loan.
