A former Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) teacher appeared in the Oudtshoorn Magistrates’ Court for fraud involving almost R1 million.
Hawks spokesperson, Captain Philani Nkwalase, said Tasmyn Lynn Dorothy, 42, was arrested last Monday and made her first appearance at court the same day.
She worked as a teacher and a manager at different learning centres around Oudtshoorn.
Nkwalase said that Dorothy allegedly inflated the actual numbers of registered students in order to gain financial benefits from the Western Cape Department of Education.
Nkwalase said the department suffered a loss of R946 538.
The case was postponed until 6 September.
