A Limpopo cashier accused of defrauding a milling company of stock worth approximately R500,000 is expected to return to the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court on 27 July 2026 for a possible bail application.

Sune Grobbelaar was arrested on Tuesday by members of the South African Police Service’s Provincial Commercial Crimes Unit following an investigation into alleged fraudulent activities at the company.

According to police, the case dates back to 11 August 2025 when the owner of Mokopane milling company received a call from a customer who questioned discrepancies on a purchase receipt.

The receipt allegedly reflected a date and time that did not correspond with the customer’s transaction.

The complaint prompted the owner to investigate further, during which duplicate receipts were allegedly uncovered. Police said a review of CCTV footage allegedly linked one of the company’s female cashiers to the issuing of the duplicate receipts.

An internal audit later revealed that stock valued at approximately R500,000 could not be accounted for. The company owner subsequently handed the allegedly duplicated invoices to investigators as evidence.

The matter was reported to the Provincial Commercial Crimes Unit, which opened a fraud case and conducted further investigations, culminating in Grobbelaar’s arrest.

The 26-year-old cashier made her first appearance before the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, where she was remanded in custody. The case was postponed to 27 July to allow for further police investigations and a possible bail application.

Police said investigations into the alleged fraud are continuing.
