Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Bernard Ndlovu, a police clerk in Hazyview, Mpumalanga, was this week sentenced to a year in prison or a R30,000 fine for conducting an unregistered cash loan business.<\/p>\n

However, the White River magistrate\u2019s court wholly suspended the sentence for five years, on condition that Ndlovu, 53, is not found guilty of a similar offence in that time.<\/p>\n

Ndlovu was arrested at his workplace on July 21 2023 when he was found in possession of 140 different bank and Sassa cards.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was arrested for contravening the National Credit Act,\u201d Nkosi said.<\/p>\n
