Limpopo cashier accused of defrauding company of R500,000 appears in court
A 26-year-old woman has appeared in a Limpopo court in connection with alleged fraud involving more than R500,000 at a milling company in Mokopane.
Sune Grobbelaar was arrested by the Limpopo police’s Provincial Commercial Crimes Unit on Tuesday.
According to the province’s police spokesperson, Hlulani Mashaba, the investigation began after the company owner received a complaint from a customer in August 2025 regarding discrepancies on a purchase receipt.
The receipt's date and time did not match the transaction, prompting the owner to investigate further and discover that duplicate receipts had allegedly been issued to customers.
Mashaba said the CCTV footage allegedly linked one of the cashiers to the fraudulent transactions, while an internal audit found that stock worth more than R500,000 could not be accounted for.
Following an extensive investigation, police arrested Grobbelaar in the Mokopane policing precinct on Tuesday.
She appeared in the Mokopane Magistrate's Court on the same day on a charge of fraud.
Grobbelaar was remanded in custody, and the case has been postponed to 27 July for further police investigations and a formal bail application.
