The Kimberley Commercial Crimes Court sentenced 41-year-old Patricia Staffa to a fine of R60 000 or three years imprisonment as well as two years which wholly suspended for five years.
Staffa was employed at the Traffic Unit of Siyathemba Local Municipality between September 2016 and June 2018, a job she got with a fake matric certificate.
