The State has added another charge of fraud against attorney Charlotte Tibana, 33, and her husband, TMPD officer Peter Nonyane, 36, also known as “Gagash”.
Limpopo National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Mashudu Malabi said the additional charge follows a new complainant coming forward in the case.
The couple appeared in the Polokwane Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 26 August 2026, for the continuation of its bail application. The hearing was postponed to 27 Thursday 2026.
Malabi said the State successfully applied for the joinder of the additional fraud charge after the complainant named Mokgadi Moetji in Limpopo came forward.
The complainant alleges that she was defrauded of R1,380,901.50 from a deceased estate that was being handled by Tibana.
The couple now faces multiple charges of fraud and money laundering linked to four deceased estates, involving more than R4 million.
Malabi said the State alleges that R1.65 million of the funds was used to purchase a Mercedes-Benz AMG G63.
The prosecution is opposing bail, arguing that Tibana allegedly abused her position as an executor and attempted to interfere with the investigation.
The bail application remains ongoing, with State witness Colonel Daniel Makuwa still on the witness stand.
Both accused remain in custody.
