Former DA Director Charged in Travel Fraud
Description
A former Department of Agriculture director, Funeka Goci-Malusi, faces serious charges after a corruption probe uncovered a scheme involving fake travel documents and unauthorized spending totaling over 23,000 rand. The investigation began when discrepancies in travel expense records triggered an alert, leading the Hawks to uncover fabricated employee details and fraudulent trips from the Free State to KuGompo City in July 2024. Despite the travel agency acting in good faith, the department lost nearly 23,430 rand, with another 14,600 rand potentially at risk. Goci-Malusi appeared in court, was granted 1,000 rand bail, and is awaiting legal representation as the case moves forward — a stark reminder that the Hawks remain committed to rooting out corruption and safeguarding public trust.
