A former MTN accountant who allegedly stole R53m from her employer by creating fake vendors and paying them has pleaded not guilty to charges of fraud.
Branden Ruth Moshabane appeared at the specialised commercial crimes court at Palm Ridge magistrate's court in Ekurhuleni on Wednesday where her trial was supposed to have started. She is facing 90 counts of fraud totalling R53,7m.
In the admission submitted to court, Moshabane confirmed that the two FNB bank accounts which received payments funds from MTN belonged to her and not the service providers as she had claimed. Moshabane, 48, further admitted that the Absa and Standard bank accounts from which she allegedly stole the money from belong to MTN SA.
