TimesLIVE reports that two women aged 24 and 30 have been arrested in the Johannesburg city centre on charges of falsifying matric certificates.
Hawks spokesperson Lt-Col Lloyd Ramovha said officials made the arrests after an alert police officer observed suspicious behaviour at an internet cafe. “The suspects were found altering and editing a matric statement of results as well as the certificate issued in 2014. The misrepresentation was aimed at reflecting a university entry qualification,” he reported. Electronic devices, including a computer and a cellphone were confiscated. The suspects made a brief appearance in the Joburg Magistrate's Court on Monday. They were each granted bail of R500. The case was postponed to 7 April for further investigation. Maj-Gen Ebrahim Kadwa, the head of the Hawks in Gauteng, said: “Crimes like these undermine the credibility of our education system and the hard work of countless South Africans. We will not tolerate such deceit.”
