IDAC has warned the public about a person allegedly impersonating acting head Advocate Ntuthuzelo Vanara and requesting sensitive information about a court matter. The cellphone number used does not belong to Vanara, and the matter has been referred to police.
South Africans have been warned by the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) about an imposter who has been using the name and image of Acting Head Advocate Ntuthuzelo Vanara to solicit sensitive information. IDAC has confirmed the cellphone number used by the impersonator does not belong to Vanara. The warning comes after Vanara was appointed as the acting head of IDAC earlier this month.
According to IDAC, law enforcement officers alerted the organization about the impersonation, and the matter will be referred to the police for investigation. IDAC has strongly condemned the conduct and urged members of the public to remain vigilant and not fall victim to the alleged criminal activity. Vanara, who was also appointed as the Chief Legal Counsel of the Special Investigating Unit, remains focused on the IDAC Reset Project aimed at reforming the organization and strengthening public trust.
