By

GAUTENG –  A 37 year old man appeared in the Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crimes Court today on fraud related charges involving defrauding a car dealership approximately R300 000.

It is alleged that in March 2019 the accused, Mhlonipheni Ndlovu submitted fraudulent payslips and bank statements when applying for vehicle finance of R300 000 at First Car Sales Dealership in Booysens for a Toyota Corolla Quest purchase
