Bogus Prasa engineer Daniel Mthimkhulu sentenced to 15 years in prison
Daniel Mthimkhulu with former Prasa executives Mosenngwa Mofi and Lucky Montana during a media briefing on July 6, 2015 in Pretoria, South Africa.
On Tuesday, the Specialised Commercial Crime Court in Johannesburg sentenced him to an effective imprisonment term of 15 years. In earlier court appearances, the prosecution said Mthimkhulu went out of his way to forge fraudulent documents, deceive Prasa and ultimately enrich himself at the parastatal's expense.
"As a result of the misrepresentation and fabricated CV, Prasa suffered prejudice in that his annual salary was unduly hiked from R1.6 million as executive manager to heading the engineering services for a salary to the tune of R2.8 million," the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation , said in a statement.
