Ref letters fraudster still in police custody

JOHANNESBURG - A Zimbabwean man is still being held by South African police for fraud, after he was arrested at Pretoria's Tirro Home Affairs offices two weeks ago.

Nomatter Musoko, originally from Harare, was caught with a laptop and a pile of printing papers, which he is suspected of having used to produce fraudulent accompanying letters of reference for Zimbabweans who were seeking freely issued South African permits.

According to the South African police, Musoko charged R20 for a copy of his letter, but his luck ran out when he was arrested by South African police, after Home Affairs officials were alerted of his activities by applicants who were producing similar letters written by him.

Nomatter Musoko is a holder of a valid Zimbabwean passport and lives in Pretoria West. Ronnie Mamoepa, South African Home Affairs spokesperson, said if Nomatter Musoko was found guilty of fraud he would be charged like any individual who has committed such a crime.
