Cape Town - A former Langeberg deputy mayor made a second court appearance on charges of fraud this week after taking out insurance policies on residents in his community.
According to community leader Thembani Mgoqi, Wiseman Mnyamana had taken out a funeral policy on a young man from the area, Yongama Mthetho.
Mthetho was found dead on a pig farm earlier this month. Police have, however, not linked anyone to the murder.
“He did make some claims with other insurance companies, but some decided to investigate before paying out and found out he was trying to defraud them and cancelled the insurance,” said Mgoqi.
