ETNEE Feser Tsanigab, the chairperson of the Management Committee of the Grootfontein Municipality, was arrested after he was caught using the names of family members to buy property cheaply from the local authority.
Investigators from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Monday arrested Tsanigab, who is also employed by the Ministry of Health and Social Services.
Tsanigab is accused of producing and using a falsified income certificate to acquire a loan from the Grootfontein Municipality to buy an erven, designated for the construction of low cost housing, for his own benefit.
He appeared in the Grootfontein Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday on charges of corruption for knowingly misrepresenting himself by producing and using the falsified income certificate to access a special loan.
Tsanigab was released on bail of N$4 000 and the matter was postponed to 6 October this year.
