MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Two former Mossel Bay municipal employees are expected to be sentenced in the Mossel Bay Regional Court today on 69 fraud-related charges of up to R123 000.
The accused, Megan Abdul and Siphokazi Majolla, have been found guilty of changing the status of burials from a standard burial to an indigent burial or a cremation and other irregularities from July 2016 to April 2018.
The modus operandi was to cancel a specific transaction following a reservation of a grave, without the funeral undertaker being aware of it.
Abdul and Majolla would tell the administration staff at the municipality that people paid too much for a burial and would then pocket the difference in cash for themselves.
In court it was said that Abdul and Majolla acted individually but at all times with a common purpose which they discussed together and they followed the same modus operandi throughout.
