A former clearing agent and a SARS customs external verification officer were sentenced on counts of fraud, forgery, and two counts of corruption.

The Public Service Commission has praised officials from SARS and the Road Traffic Management Corporation who refused to take a bribe at the Beitbridge port of entry.

“These upright officials demonstrated honesty and bravery as well as an important trait of serving with integrity and ethical conduct, something that must be applauded. The Musina Regional Court recently sentenced Nthapeleng Adler Munyai, a former Pamdozi Cargo International CC clearing agent, and Tsumbedzo Priscilla Nemangani Mashito, who used to work as a SARS customs external verification officer, to an effective 15-year direct imprisonment term on counts of fraud, forgery, and two counts of corruption.

The pair used forged and fraudulent consignment clearance documents and processed them through the Beitbridge border control’s customs control area without compliance with the normal customs clearance process and procedures.
