The Labour Relations Manager at the University of Limpopo’s Turfloop Campus has been granted a R3 000 bail by the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court following his arrest at his home in Penina Park, Polokwane on Tuesday night for fraud.
Lesiba Lazarus Lebelo (59) allegedly used a fraudulent matric certificate to acquire employment at university in 1996. Initial investigations revealed that the serial number of the certificate he used belonged to somebody else, meaning that Lesiba earned over R10 million in his 19 years of service fraudulently.
Lesiba, who was serving his one-month notice to retire at the end of the month, will be back in court again on 26 November 2015.
