Tshwane’s former Mayor, Murunwa Makwarela, is expected to appear before the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria on Monday. He handed himself in at the Brooklyn police station.
Makwarela faces fraud charges, related to a forged insolvency rehabilitation certificate he submitted to the City, in attempting to stay on as Mayor.
The multiparty coalition in Tshwane laid charges of fraud after the certificate was confirmed to be fake. Makwarela resigned soon after.
