Sizani, wife of SA ambassador to Germany Stone Sizani, faces 16 counts of fraud and 10 counts of money laundering.
Khutala Tise, 34, testified that she was working at Magnum Motors in 2009 when she applied for a post at the department's district office and handed her CV to Sizani. She said Sizani had requested her to complete some forms and take one to the bank to be completed before returning it to her. Sizani then told her that she would receive money from the department.
Tise told the court that a month later, R22,800 was deposited into her bank account and Sizani had instructed her to return R20,000."I took this money to the accused's office," Tise said.Tise said Sizani had told her that she would try to find placement at a school for her, but instructed Tise to look for a school as well.In 2010, Sizani told her to report for duty at Little Sunshine preschool where she remained and received a stipend each month.
Since her first court appearance in 2013, Sizani has been found not guilty on five of the 15 counts of money laundering against her.
