💨 Abstract

An individual, Eric Victor Du Preez, fraudulently applied for an SPCA position by claiming to be a qualified inspector. The Cape of Good Hope SPCA uncovered the fraud after verifying his credentials. Du Preez presented falsified certificates during an interview, prompting his arrest. He faces multiple fraud-related charges and is in custody pending a bail application. The SPCA emphasizes the importance of rigorous vetting processes to prevent such incidents and warns the public against similar scams.
