Donations for Hawks Officer Top Half a Million Rand
Story 3
A crowdfunding campaign launched to replace a stolen coffee machine belonging to Hawks investigator Karl Sander has raised more than R500 000 in just a few days.
The campaign was started after Sander's testimony at the Madlanga Commission, where he revealed that his personal coffee machine had been stolen from his office and that he was later subjected to a polygraph test over its disappearance.
What began with a R5 000 target quickly gained national support, with thousands of South Africans contributing as a show of appreciation for his years of service.
