It was heard that she gave a false report to the businessperson by claiming that she had won a R20million tender to supply the Netcare Hospital group with linen.

She told the complainant that she had to clear her goods through customs and she needed a sum of 6.2 million and she promised to payback the loan to the businessperson with an interest of R1.5 million.

The complainant listened to her plea and loaned Ramgobin the money. A thorough investigation later revealed that the tender was not true as it was never advertised or awarded.

Before Ramgobin was convicted, she was released on R50,000 bail.
