According to a statement issued on Sunday by the Hawks, the three  suspects include a former member of Parliament, the former chairperson of Makgatho Community Property Association and a bank employee.

The latest arrests follow that of a senior Molemole Municipality official who was nabbed on Friday.

The suspects will appear in the Polokwane Magistrate Court on Monday to face theft charges.
