The company's director allegedly claimed the COVID-19 TERS funds on behalf of various companies and shared the money with her accomplices.


The company's director was arrested in 2021 and is out on R100 000 bail. 


Ntuli was granted R20 000 bail in court and will reappear with the company's director in November this year.


The Hawks say more arrests are expected soon.
