"The claimant had a pending claim of 2.7 million. Initially, she demanded that in order for her to fast-track the process of her claim, she must pay R50,000 up-front. Then R450,000 will be paid once this claim is processed," said KZN Hawks spokesperson Simphiwe Mhlongo.
"Magwaza accepted the money, and that’s when Hawks members quickly arrested her and recovered that money."
