A senior employee at the Eastern Cape Department of Education has received a wholly suspended sentence of two years in prison for R45 000 insurance fraud.
The broker, reservist and five other fraudulent beneficiaries roped in by the broker are expected to be tried on 9 November. The Hawks said Mateta, employed at the Eastern Cape Department of Education, falsely claimed R45 000 in insurance payouts - R30 000 from 1Life and R15 000 from Old Mutual - in 2015.
"The police reservist is alleged to have had two ID books with different dates of birth, hence his willingness to use one in the orchestration of the fraudulent activities. The broker is reported to have approached five of his insurance clients of which Mateta was one, to take death cover policies for the reservist and lodge a death claim after the waiting period had lapsed," Hawks spokesperson Captain Yolisa Mgolodela said.
