The trial of State Security Agency employee Thuso Oesi has been postponed to July 18 by the Pretoria specialised commercial crimes court.
TimesLIVE previously reported that as listed on the charge sheet, Oesi — who earns just more than R46,000 a month at the agency — twice fiddled the system to change his salary. One month he made it R80,268 and on the second occasion he more than trebled it to R174,141.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said the case was postponed because the accused was not in court on Tuesday due to ill health.Oesi was suspended from the agency. However, according to SSA spokesperson Mava Scott, he has been back at work since October., convicted of stealing R170,000, was sentenced to six years' imprisonment in April this year.
In April 2020, Bopape withdrew R500,000 under the pretence that she would make the funds available to members of the SSA for work. She then kept the funds in a locked safe in her office and later took R170,000 which she used for her own benefit.
