Disgraced former Tshwane mayor, Murunwa Makwarela, has handed himself over to the Hawks in Pretoria.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said that his arrest was linked to his submission of a dodgy clearance certificate after he was declared an unrehabilitated insolvent.
This was brought up after his election as Tshwane mayor last month.
Makwarela produced the certificate in a bid to stay at the helm but the Pretoria High Court’s chief registrar confirmed that the document was never issued by the court.
He is facing charges of fraud.
