A North West man was arrested on Wednesday for selling jobs at the Tshwane Metro Police.  

He was arrested after a woman contacted the Tshwane metro police to find out why she had not been called for training after paying the man R6,500 for a vacancy, said spokesman Console Tleane.

The man, 44, allegedly told the woman he was a metro officer, but this was not true.

“The victim claimed that she paid the suspect R6,500 in order to secure a position as one of the students.” 

When she asked the man why she had not been called for training, he told her she needed to pay another R3,000.  

This was the amount of money found on the man when he was arrested by the Tshwane metro police and the Hawks in Temba, North West.

Tleane said he would face charges of fraud, corruption and impersonating a police officer in the Temba Magistrate’s Court on Friday.  

He said there was no fee for Metro Police training.

“The recruitment process is open and transparent, and should therefore not be contaminated by elements purporting to be metro police officers.”

This woman is as guilty as this conman. Paying someone to get a job is bribery at its own. Thank God she didn`t get the job becaue she was definitely going to be a corrupt Speedcop.If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword. You get a job through bribery you will live by bribery. As an honest citizen she should have reported this matter immediately to the Law enforcement officers rather than going through with it until she had paid so much money.
Women stop being so desparate, I bet if the conman had demanded sex she would have given in.Mr Magistrate charge them both.
