Thabo Sejanamane, a Deputy Director at the North West Department of Education, and a prominent deacon, faces allegations of fraud and impersonation involving a car transaction.

In a surprising turn of events, Thabo Sejanamane, a Deputy Director at the Minimum Information Security Services Directorate within the North West Department of Education, and a prominent deacon at the Methodist church in Potchefstroom, finds himself entangled in a legal dispute as allegations of fraud and impersonation emerge against him.

According to reports, Sejanamane, who holds significant responsibilities within both the education sector and the religious community, is accused of orchestrating a fraudulent transaction involving a 2010 Chevrolet Cruise belonging to his ex-wife, Dr. Carol Letshabo. The purported incident took place in February 2019 at Potchefstroom's Daly Ford car dealership.

Furthermore, it is claimed that Sejanamane utilized a Green Book ID copy, previously destroyed by Home Affairs in 2015, during the transaction, adding complexity to the legality of the exchange. Despite the circumstances surrounding the transaction, Daly Ford has refrained from commenting on the matter.

After four years of legal proceedings, Sejanamane faced formal charges at the Potchefstroom SAPS on 9 May 2024. His initial appearance before the Potchefstroom criminal magistrate court on 6 June 2024, marks a pivotal moment in holding accountable a senior manager entrusted with combating corruption and crime within the education sector and a respected figure within the Methodist community.

In response to the allegations, Dr. Carol Letshabo, Sejanamane's ex-wife, emphasizes her determination to seek justice, underscoring the gravity of the situation. 'We're divorced, and a crime has happened that he needs to account for,' she states unequivocally, highlighting the importance of accountability and adherence to the rule of law.
