Company Director gets 6-year suspended sentence for tax fraud


A company director has been sentenced by the Kagiso Regional court to six years imprisonment suspended for two years for tax fraud involving three point six million rand.

Tshepo Khoza’s company Grey Apple Trading Enterprise received tenders from SAPS.

The Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) says the tenders linked to the DNA Project in the SAPS Forensic Science Laboratory were awarded due to Khoza’s family relationship with a senior SAPS official.

IDAC says Khoza falsely declared his company to be dormant and failed to declare income to the SA Revenue Service.

IDAC spokesperson Henry Mamothame says the corruption trial linked to the matter will resume in February next year.

“The two, together with one more accused who is also related to them, are facing corruption charges in a separate matter which is set to resume on the 2nd of February 2026″
