Hawks Spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale said that on Thursday morning, the Hawks' Serious Economic Offences Unit of the Serious Commercial Crime Investigation, Cybercrime Investigation Head Office descended upon a house in Hillcrest, north of Johannesburg after their search and seizure warrant was approved.
“The 21-year-old suspect will be detained for the unlawful possession of a firearm, and further investigation into the matric result leakage will continue,” Mogale said. At that time Gwarube confirmed that the potential breach may have happened at the tail end of the results that had already been verified.
