Former SIU Gauteng head Sifiso Kunene was sentenced for defrauding a RAF claimant of funds deposited into his trust account.
The Durban Specialised Commercial Crimes Court has sentenced Sifiso Kunene, former head of the Gauteng Special Investigating Unit , to four years for theft of trust funds while he was practising as a lawyer.
NPA spokesperson in KwaZulu-Natal Natasha Kara said in the circumstances, the court convicted Kunene of the theft of R 170 000, which would have been the amount that the complainant would have been entitled to . “Due to Masango’s involvement in an unrelated theft of trust funds in 2010, he abandoned the practice and was struck off the roll of practicing attorneys by the High Court. He was subsequently convicted and sentenced to a period of imprisonment.
Kara said the State led the evidence of bank statements demonstrating the money moving into and out of Kunene’s bank account bill payments and school fees.
