Polela says the charges range from soliciting money to fast-track a claim to making fraudulent claims to the value of R48 million.
"It is with great delight that we've had these convictions. We hope the more than 1 000 cases that have been referred to law enforcement agencies will result in more convictions because what we want to do is to send a very strong message that government money cannot be abused."
