TMPD officer, partner to apply for bail on fraud charges
They are facing four charges, two counts of fraud and two counts of money laundering.
A Tshwane Metro Police Department officer, Peter Nonyane, and his partner, Charlotte Tibana, a Polokwane-based attorney, are set to seek bail in the Polokwane Magistrate's Court on Friday. They are charged with fraud and money laundering, accused of defrauding two deceased estates of over R1.7 million in 2024. Tibana turned herself in to police on Monday, while Nonyane was arrested on Friday.
The charges include two counts of fraud and two counts of money laundering. The state claims the couple conspired to defraud the estates of the funds for their own gain. Nonyane has been making wealth claims on social media, leading the TMPD to issue a statement about their intent to suspend him.
