Alleged fraudster cooked payslips, bank statements

Testifying in the case, BPC accounts supervisor, Kgalalelo Mokhai said Paakanye had never been in the corporation’s employ, adding that there were abnormal features on the payslip produced as evidence even though the forgery was close to the authentic BPC payslip. Paakanye faces two counts of obtaining credit by false pretense, for allegedly using fake documents to score a P119,000 loan from Letshego on January 21, 2012 and then getting a top-up of P80,000 in February of the same year. The loans were secured from Letshego’s Francistown branch.

Mokhai testified that on March 6, 2012 the DCEC officials came with the accused‘s payslips for verification during which she assessed and found abnormalities on them.
