The investigation team successfully traced and arrested Selepe in August last year at his residents.<\/p>\n<p>During Selepe\u2019s first appearance in court, the state successfully opposed his bail application and was remanded in custody awaiting trial.   Last week, the court found Selepe guilty on both counts of fraud and sentenced him to 6 years direct imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is through such magnitude of convictions which give the public hope and closure for the aggrieved. The accused\u2019s prosecution is a good example for criminals out there, that crime doesn\u2019t pay. It could be exciting when benefiting from proceeds of crime, but one day one will need to account\u201d.
