Sentencing of former VWSA employee postponed


The sentencing procedures of a former VWSA fleet administrator, who defrauded the company of R12 million were postponed in the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Gqeberha on Wednesday. 

Christo de Jager, 60, has been convicted on 595 counts of fraud, committed between November 2014 and March 2021. 

The court heard that the sentencing procedures could not begin because de Jager's probation officer's report was incomplete.

Consultations with the complainant also still need to take place. 

De Jager used his position to hatch a scheme with an employee at a body repair company to do work for VWSA. 

He was then paid monthly for generating fraudulent invoices.

The case was remanded to 1 July.
