In something that will probably come as no surprise, the former police spokesman of KZN has been found to have faked his matric certificate.
Vincent Mdunge, winning the trophy for irony, has been found guilty of fraud and forgery.
Prosecutor Barend Groen argued that the matric certificate that Mdunge used was a fake, had been tampered with and that the examination number on the certificate was in fact Mdunge’s Standard 8 examination number.
Special constables who were hired at the height of the violence in KwaZulu-Natal in the late 1980s and early 1990s only required a Standard 8 (Grade 10 today) pass. Mdunge joined the police for in 1987.
It emerged that Mdunge failed matric in 1985 and wrote supplementary exams in 1986, which he also failed.
