A 35-year-old Zimbabwean man, employed as a gardener, has been nabbed along with three Batswana after allegedly illegally obtaining an Omang and masquerading as his late boss to steal at least P3.9 million from the deceased.

Bhekizwe Nkomazana and three Batswana, one of whom works at Civil and National Registry, have been charged with theft common, official corruption, obtaining by false pretences and giving false information in applying for Omang registration. His girlfriend, Ketshepile Lompehu, has also been charged as an accomplice in the matter.  She allegedly masqueraded as the deceased’s daughter.

The four accused appeared before Extension II magistrate, Ntombizodwa Ncube yesterday charged with an elaborate scheme to hide the death of businessman, Solomon Tlhapane, assume his identity with a false Omang, then strip his cash and assets. Tlhapane was a director at Meepong Investments.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
