An undercover Hawks operation has led to the arrests of three suspects who were allegedly selling parcels of land illegally in the Vuwani area of Limpopo for R3,500 each.

They allegedly impersonated a chief in the village, outside Thohoyandou.

“The team caught the suspects in the act,” on Saturday, said the Hawks.

The suspects are expected to make their first appearance in the Vuwani magistrate’s court on Monday on allegations of fraud and impersonation.
