The Pretoria Specialized Commercial Crimes Court has sentenced Prishne Khan (37) to 10 years
of direct imprisonment for 63 counts of fraud that resulted in losses exceeding R3 million. In addition to this, she received a further 4-year imprisonment for theft amounting to R350,000, with the court ordering that these sentences run concurrently, resulting in an effective sentence of 10 years in prison.

The court heard that Khan was employed as a bookkeeper at Northern Cricket Union from June 2015 to 18 January 2017, with responsibilities that included processing payments for various service providers. Instead of executing her duties honestly, she altered banking details on multiple invoices, replacing them with those of her husband and cousin and misappropriating R350,000 over six weeks from May to June 2016. When questioned about her actions, Khan resigned
from her position.

Following her resignation, Khan became the finance manager at Customer Loyalty Consultant (PTY) Ltd from 09 March 2017 to 30 September 2017. This role provided her with access to the company’s bank account and banking systems. During her employment, Khan again manipulated customer banking details to funnel payments into accounts controlled by her husband and cousin. Despite her ability to process payments, she could not execute them immediately due to a token needed, which was the responsibility of another employee. After leaving the company in September 2017, another employee provided her with the token, allowing her to release payments totalling more than R3 million to herself from September 2017 until March 2018.

From 2021 to May 2022, Usale ran a syndicate where he would steal batteries from various network towers of Vodacom and MTN throughout the country, interchange the battery management system of batteries to different manufacturers, respray the casings of the battery in an attempt to disguise the true origins of the batteries to make it look like they were commercial solar batteries. Thereafter, he would sell the batteries to unsuspecting consumers by placing adverts on social media platforms under a business called SOLAR MART and SUN SHOP. When an unsuspecting customer purchases a battery, the company would use the services of E-hailing to deliver the battery.

This syndicate was discovered after a complainant bought a battery and it did not work. The complainant then showed the battery to his friend who told him that the battery was a network battery. The complainant then reported the matter to the police, who in return set a trap which resulted in the arrest of two other Malawian nationals on 05 May 2022, who have since been convicted and sentenced to 8 years each on 11 July 2023. The two Malawian nationals then took the police to a storage in Midrand where they kept the stolen batteries where police found 53 batteries. Thereafter the two took the police to the places where they sold the batteries. After the arrest of the two, a warrant of arrest was issued for Usale, however, he skipped the country and returned to Malawi. He was eventually arrested on 25 January 2024 at the Beitbridge border attempting to skip the country again.
