The Citizen reports that on Tuesday the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court granted former bank employee Rachel Tsakani Bloko bail of R5,000 for alleged fraud.
Bloko, 38, was arrested in Polokwane on Monday on charges of R130,000 fraud. According to a police spokesperson, Bloko used the personal information of bank clients without their knowledge to apply for personal loans. The victims only became aware of the loans after the bank informed them of unpaid accounts. A warrant of arrest was issued, leading to her arrest. The case was postponed to 24 October 2025 for further investigation.
This is not the first case of its kind involving bank employees. In July, the Gqeberha Regional Court sentenced Lusanda Gloria Qose, 35, to five years in prison for her role in a fraud scheme involving the unlawful access and manipulation of a customer’s banking profile. The victim lost R245,000 as a result. The bank ultimately refunded the complainant and absorbed the financial loss. Qose repaid R87,000 through a deduction from her pension fund and expressed remorse for her actions.
