A KwaZulu-Natal couple - who between them masqueraded as SA Revenue Service agents, insurance brokers and attorneys to defraud their victims of more R10m - have received jail time for their crimes.

The couple also pretended to be Sars agents and convinced one of the complainants that they could assist her with the payment of monies she owed.

In aggravation of sentence, senior state advocate Ranjini Govender told the court that the accused's guilty plea was not necessarily indicative of remorse. Sewpersadh was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment and while his wife received five years' imprisonment in terms of Section 276 of the Criminal Procedure Act, she will only serve 10 months in prison.
