A suspected fake Eastern Cape lawyer has been granted R5,000 bail after being arrested by the Hawks. Luthando Nomandindi, 33, appeared before the Mthatha specialised commercial crimes court on Tuesday facing charges of fraud, forgery and uttering. The “decisive breakthrough in the fight against qualification fraud within the public sector” involved the Mthatha-based serious commercial crime investigation unit of the Hawks and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
