ZAA former finance worker at the UK-based Breast Cancer Now organization, Tameem Choudhury, has been sentenced to two years and six months in prison for embezzling nearly £92,000 (approximately R2 million) intended for the charity.

Part of the funds were recovered by the bank after the account was frozen, and the case highlights the abuse of trust within charitable organizations.
