Four years of house arrest, no alcohol for corrupt KZN licensing clerk

[schumi]

Howick - A corrupt uMngeni Municipality employee will not be able to leave her house for four years nor drink alcohol for that duration after she was sentenced for fraudulently issuing drivers' licenses.

Thandazile Judith Shelembe, who was a principal administrative clerk at the Howick licensing centre, appeared at the Durban Commercial Crimes Court on Monday.

She was fined R9 000 or 12 months imprisonment and also handed a four-year sentence suspended for five years on condition that she is not found guilty of fraud or theft during that period.

Other conditions are that she be placed under house arrest for the full duration of the sentence and may not leave the magisterial area in which she lives without the permission of the Commissioner of Correctional Services.

She has to perform free community service for 16 hours per month for the first 24 months of the sentence and must complete programmes in life orientation or any other programme that the commissioner may deem necessary at her own expense.

That's not fair, she didn't drink while issuing the licenses.

House arrest with no alcohol? F**k that, just send me to prison.

I am torn on this sentence. While it is too lenient and she should rightly rot in jail, that would be a burden on the taxpayer.

I suppose the real question here is how they intend to police her house arrest. Do they attach a bracelet with a built-in GPS to her ankle? Do they do sobriety tests? Do they do spot visits to see that she is upholding the conditions of her sentence?

It is more likely members of the unit to be tasked with performing the above will be under house arrest by this time in 2025.

Fark that, considering that this pos unleashed mega-moron unlicensed drivers on the general public, I’m of the belief that the way we incerate these pieces-of-sh*ts needs to change : firstly, seize and sell of any assets, seize all monies then jail it. And use the moneys and proceeds of seizures to foot the bill of the prison time. Also hard labour wouldn’t go unnoticed !

She'll probably be back at work for the pmb office on monday
