Upon seeing that extra noughts had been added to the R1 400 that she was entitled to for food assistance, Mani screamed hallelujah and headed to East London’s shopping district to begin her now infamous shopping
spree. Within four hours of the money landing in her account, she had already spent R20 000 of it.Subscribe to News24 for just R75 per month to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism. You can cancel any time.
In my Buccaneer friend MondliMakhanya1 's definition we were thiefs. I don't agree, it was our lucky day. This lady, I still defineas young, should have received a rap on the knuckles, & a,suspended sentence. The real thief is the one that transferred that amount to her acciunt
Definition of a thief ' A person who steals another person's property, especially by stealth and without using force or threat of violence.' Growing up in White City, our luch use to come when shop assistant who was arithmetically challenged gives you more change than requires.
She should've shared it with me. At least she would have a friend like me by her side in prison and sing 'angingedwa'. 😅😅 Just saying. As she was an activist in varsity, she should've known better but it cannot be undone.
A young stupid university kriminal remains one. Post grad studies in K
She is not a thief. You will have to redefine what a Thief is.
What's with the 'thief' name calling?
What about the remainder of the money..,.. was it returned to NSFAS or it just disappeared…. & now Sibongile must bear the brunt.
So Sibongile Mani is jailed for spending money she got given, but the person who transferred that money in the first place is left alone…. Kanjani…? KAHLE KAHLE what is JUSTICE.
Whatever her sentence may or may nit be, she was studying accountancy. Who, apart from the ANC, will employ her, especially in a fiduciary position? Whatever future she might have had, she's ruined it, regardless of the sentence.
As i block you
What about the thieves that stole R52m from the University of Johannesburg¿...It's a pity that our judiciary system sees colour 🏴/🏳️. However looking at their conviction tactics it has a firm hand on🏴a particular colour.
Mondli Makhaya speaks for his colonial masters What he is spewing out of his mouth smells colonialism and is spoken from a stomach point of view
Mondli Makhanya why are you so obsessed Ka Sibongile? there's white thief of Stellenbosch you don't have news to cover?Sies
She is not a thief. I don't remamber you calling Jacob Zuma a thief why because you will find yourself in a huge situation, but because of it is her you call her a thief. How cruel you are.
Mondli Makhanya the real clever black!!!
If the lady is 27 years old, did she take at least 7 years to finish a 4 year course.
This guy Mondli is so evil yesesssss
No she is NOT a thief. She didn't use someone else's pin to access the money, she used her own pin and found the money available for her. This is rather called an undue benefit. Why do you vilify this girl, she didn't misrepresent herself to receive this money.
“…this thief…”. What have we really done to Mondli Makhanya?
When you steal, steal BIG!!! Incase you get caught, uboshelwe into ekhona. No regrets
Wow Mondli🙄🙄🙄💔
Her case only shows South Africa 's all equal before the law is a joke and only applies to the rich and famous people!!!!!!
Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about AmelieBtc1 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
Mondli Makhanya is excelling in stupidity.
Vuseg wena mnqundu wesihlama. She never stole the money. Money was processed by an idiot whom must be fired and held accountable for that as the administrative error on their side and not this young lady.
She's not a thief
Mondli Makhanya….Define the word “thief”
She must go to jail cuz she is selfish
Mondli I think you should see a psychologist really, you are really sad it's sad to witness you expressing it through your sad career of journalism
It's really disgusting that you are labeling her a thief man
A spending spree or wrongdoing doesn't necessarily mean greed. Seems like inflammatory language is intentionally being used to demonize the student for using some of the money that was deposited in her bank account.
Maybe all black SAns are driven by poverty, it's makes the writer Mondli no different to her...it's about the numbers
She will now join toy gun malema after his toy gun sentence
Unono didn't even buy a shoe for her kids🤔
Look here you low life, you can't tell us how to feel. What the NPA & that racist judge did by sentencing that girl to 5 years in jail for money she didn't steal, that even NSFAS is not even complaining about because it replaced it, is wrong!
Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about AmelieBtc1 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
that old Mondli should stop his nonsensical obsession with a kid... Fokof
She's not a hero but greedy little woman who is very selfish and a high spender....very risky to the economic growth of this country
Did she not even questioned her decision to that extent atleast? That if I'm spending this money....how many children in higher education institutions like herself that will be negatively affected by this greed decision that she has made? I think she must be jailed for this
I agree....she's very selfish. How many students are nit graduating and others can't access their final report from universities on the basis that they still owe money to the institution? NFSAS doesn't fall from trees its budgeted based on applications received.
Mondlis obsession with this kid is shocking
hamba uyofa
Mondli Makhanya thinks we give a f about his opinion and the fact is I don't give a flying fish about it.
Its not greed but poverty.
She was driven by economic exclusion of the masses since the beginning of time.
This thief really? Who owns this newspaper?
We are being oppressed by the same government we put in power. As long we are not government ministers no one will protect us
She's not a THIEF. Like WTF is wrong with y'all jeez. The real THIEF is whoever decided to send that R14 Mil not Her!!
Thief please correct your self....Thief it's a wrong word to describe that young lady.
She has a great future as an ANC government minister
What Kaka of journalism is this?
Who gave her that money
Surely there are bigger fish to fry?
What nonsense is this racist article all about calling this women a thief, shit
Thief ke marete a city press
What? Did I just read: ' this thief is supposedly young...'?😂😂😂
But this is no longer about journalism
Disgusting!
NSFAS didn't finish paying the money for the funded years and they will never do it and this left hand side justice is so biased to see that. And that Dlamini woman was given an option because she is rich and you call that justice?
I would've just told them that I thought NSFAS had increased the allowance
Tsek
ALETTAHA She was an accounting student 😳😳😳
She knew exactly what she was doing
Why would she suspect NFSAS cant afford to give her R14m
She is NOT a thief, she used her own to access the money in her own account. She didn't use someone else's pin. I will agree if you say she unduly benefitted. They recovered more than R13m from the R14m, if it were me it would be different
U really hate her huh!
Like the fake story of a girl that found & returned R40mill. There was a lot of ppl unhappy with her honesty. Some were furious that the money was returned. That's the same crowd making noise now. They are not to be taken seriously or trusted. If they could, they would steal.
At 27 you should know unemphatically the difference between right and wrong
As for 'this thief'shame on you
Hai Fotshek nja
Wow a thief you call her? Seeing that you guys are a media house and have the full information, what is the name of the person who made the mistake? Asking for a friend.
People like Zuma, Magashule, Bathabile, Supra, Gigaba and co. should be in jail looooonf time ago but just look at what's happening.
Every action has consequences. She's a thief and must be treated as one. South Africa is at this stage cos it's become a culture for people not to see 'WRONG' as wrong, or support 'WRONG' because it's done by the people the like or have sympathy for. Sad reality.
At 27 she knew the money was not hers. What she did was theft. That is criminal. Off to jail with her.
I wonder how hold was Bathabile Dlamini, Julius Malema, Mark Jooste, Dr Mkhize, Ms Dinah Pule, shuuuuuuiu🙈, the list is endless. Spare us the crab.
Ramaphosa,Serhwale,Macozoma, Mzi Khumalo and many other ANC leaders chose to become Billionaires instead of having those shares benefit workers. Greed and selfish ambition is built into the DNA of our country.If our leaders didnt chose to be oligarchs maybe things would be better
Extreme greed, that some criminal sympathizers try to claim as poverty.
Mondli Makhanya 👎🏾
So typical but was taught by Ubaba, commit crime then if found guilty start a protest group. SA is a sick society
I'm with Mondli on this one. Sbongile was selfish in her actions.
Derek_Hanekom The sentence of 5 years for someone who was deposited money erroneously was harsh. There should have been an alternative punishment than this even though she was wrong by squandering it.
He is trying to impress his superiors and no need to talk sense with him, it's easy for newspapers to write lies and apolise with very fine print whilst they have made a profit. Who writes about them? Have you find a way of looking after your street veondrs?
I meant greediness not *greetings Its high time we teach our children from that crimes never pays and there's nothing like receiving such a huge amount and decide to spend it. She never even thought that there're other kids who will probably go without funding in that year
I also agree with these sentiments Mondli,how do you you even begin spending erroneous money though? If as SAns we're still thinking greetings is perfectness.....we have a very long way to go. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it. How many students in that year went without NFSAS
If Mani is greedy that makes Mondl dangerously jealous, we had NSFS money freezing on ATM's causing to enter the bank if you knew, students declined not really in the systems, NSFS dropped the charges because there's something big ahead of this case, I would chow the money too..
Thief who quickly use stolen money quickly so that by the time government discovered her crime money will be finished.
Lerete la mondli
True very true. The fact is she knew what she was doing was wrong period.
Girls was a millionaire at a very young age 🐐☄️💥🔥
Why such big money was not red flagged? Who paid such money into the account of one student,, When is going to account? I smell the rate here
I fully agree
What about the ones who paid the monies in the first place?
People take Mondli Makhaya too serious his pieces are not worth my time
Agree
Criminals don't see anything wrong with committing crime instead they are celebrating
Give her a break ffs
She didn't steal. She used her own pin to access money which she found in her account. This is rather an undue benefit which is totally different from stealing. Why do you vilify a follow black girl like that. Out of the R14m, they still recovered more than R13m
I'm forever grateful Ma'am Nelly I enjoy trading with you and your company, thanks once more again Nelly_wa_Macha
We r living in a most unequal society and as long most public figures are corrupt and never face the music then why sbongile can't be treated the same? If the law of this country was working rich or poor treating us the same, we were not going to complain on her jail time.
this was exactly how i saw so many posts about Amelie and how she was helping individuals with their trades and i decided to give it a try and luckily it went well, Contact her via her profile link below 👇👇 AmelieBtc1
True.....money that was also meant for other deserving students, let's not celebrate thuggery
His opinion is nasty.
Tell Mondli Makhanya we said FOKOF!!!
So the state capture scroundels had pure motives? No greed? We are not saying she was right to do this. But what is sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander
Tsek!
Stop supporting corruption.
Stop doing drugs makhanya. Did you miss the part where nsfas officials added 4 zeros from 2 zeros?
Tsek!
Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Williamchurch07 and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R150,000 in 3 weeks thanks Williamchurch07
You know there is everything wrong with this Mani judgment when the Mondlis of this world are out to justify and defend it. 😂
I'm really grateful for all the efforts you have render to me with my little investment of R6000 and with joy over me after withdrawing R60,000 with your help Williamchurch07 thank you for everything you have done for me and my family Williamchurch07
They recovered more than R13m from the R14m. She used her own pin to access the money, and didn't go out stealing somebody's personal information. She unduly benefited out of an erroneous transaction in her account. So why do you vilify her. Black ppl ganging up with white Magist
People are sympathetic towards her because we watch the political and business elite pillage billions from the national purse with absolutely no consequence. So people find it difficult to comprehend how of all the financial crimes in SA a student is the one that's prosecuted.
