Pretoria - An administration clerk pleaded guilty in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Tuesday to defrauding the SA National Defence Force out of more than R1m over several years.
Clubview resident Zelda Wolmarans said in her plea explanation she worked as a civilian at the defence force's reserve force administration department.
Her duties entailed capturing information on the salary system. She was later promoted to a position entailing approving this information as captured by others.
However, by using the access codes of officials, Wolmarans captured false information on the salary system and had monies paid into several bank accounts she had opened for this purpose.
She was arrested in April 2006.
Wolmarans's case was postponed on Tuesday to July 7 for pre-sentencing reports and her bail of R20 000 was extended.
