Bank teller pleads guilty for R4m theft from clients, two others await trial
The Mercury
|September 10, 2025
A BANK teller who, along with two co-accused, allegedly embezzled over R3.9 million from client accounts has pleaded guilty to the charges. Bonginkosi Praise Khoza, 28, admitted to his role in the unauthorised transactions and is now awaiting sentencing.
The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, also known as the Hawks, said Khoza, alongside a bank manager identified as Selby Khoza and a fellow teller, Winny Mashaba, allegedly made off with R3 950 941 in fraudulent transactions in August 2016.
The trio was arrested a year later, in 2017, by the Hawks’ serious commercial crime investigation team on charges of fraud, theft, and contravention of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (POCA).
Lieutenant Colonel Magonseni Nkosi, spokesperson for the Hawks in Mpumalanga, confirmed the latest developments in the case.
