A bank employee won R1-million for helping to protect the bank against crime — for the second time.
Moses Subjee, an off-line equipment operator at First National Bank (FNB) in Johannesburg, could not believe his luck when FNB CEO Michael Jordaan presented him with the Vow of Vigilance award, said FNB spokesperson Sue Naidoo in a statement on Wednesday.
He also won R1-million in the award in 2002.
”Winning a million for the second time in a lifetime? That’s beyond anybody’s wildest dreams,” said Subjee.
Subjee’s winning entry — an altered cheque he intercepted — was one of 45 incidents of attempted fraud he spotted, out of more than 2 000 entries.
”His continued dedication in reporting incidents of crime and doing such an exemplary job in protecting the bank’s best interests is exactly what we had hoped to entrench by initiating this campaign,” said Jordaan.
Head of prevention at group forensic services, Edward Blight, said the campaign had saved the FirstRand banking group almost R12-billion, well worth the investment in prize money. — Sapa
