The Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team arrested Mthimkhulu on Friday,12 August 2022 at the border post of Beitbridge following a probe into alleged fraud in respect of a home loan application to the value R950 000-00. It is alleged that in October 2016, the accused applied for home loan from the bank through an estate agent using fraudulent documents which included a forged payslip and bank statements.

The said loan for a house in Kempton Park was consequently declined and seemingly, Mthimkhulu was under the impression that she had gotten away with the attempted crime until she was arrested recently.
