She is facing charges of fraud.
Hawks officials say the property belongs to the National Department of Public Works, and that KZN's police commissioner lives there.
Spokesperson Simphiwe Mhlongo says the woman alleged to have sold the home to a man who was looking to buy property in 2020.
Mhlongo says she was paid R2.2 million.
"When the complainant was passing by the same property that he claims as his because he paid for it, he noticed the house was being renovated.
