It is alleged that in April 2019, Thabethe approached a retired principal with a proposal to start a funeral parlour business. Thabethe is a carpenter and a manufacturer of coffins. He reportedly convinced the victim to deposit the money into his Capitec account. When the money was paid, he vanished.<\/P>

The case was reported to the Hawks\u2019 Serious Corruption team in 2021, for investigation. This resulted in Thabethe\u2019s arrest on Friday when a warrant was executed at Kwa-Thema, Springs.<\/P>

The case was postponed to Thursday, 02 February 2023 for a bail application.<\/P>
