This was revealed in the Johannesburg magistrate’s court
where Nkululeko Dlamini, 35, and Silungisani Grace Sibanda, 40, stand accused
of three charges of fraud.
Dlamini appeared confused as he was brought into the dock,
while Sibanda kept a stern look on her face.
The state requested that the matter be postponed to verify
Dlamini’s identity after it came to light that he shared an identity with two
other people, despite having a Zimbabwean passport as well.
Prosecutor Mzamo Mathe told the court that the department
of home affairs has requested to meet with Dlamini and the two other people who
share the same identity with him.
“Home affairs requested that all the three people who use
the same ID meet with them in order to
verify how this came to pass. They will be requested to bring documents so that
it can determine how this happened,” Mathe told the court.
Mathe further asked the court to postpone the matter so
that they could retrieve the accused’s cellphone records for further
investigation.
The state previously alleged that Dlamini was found in
possession of a South African and a Zimbabwean passport with contrasting
details.
The matter was postponed until May 16 for further
investigation.
Sowetan previously reported that police were not keen on
withdrawing fraud charges against Brighton Moyo, the man supposedly
"brought back to life", despite allegations that he had died in Zimbabwe, where he is known as Thabiso
Mlanje. The police say he will remain a suspect until proof of his death is
provided to them. Sowetan
