The support group claims the court made a mistake and believes a higher court will overturn the ruling. Her lawyer, Asanda Pakade, slammed the sentence as shocking, adding that he would appeal both the conviction and the sentence. The matter will be heard on 11 April. It said the student was not a criminal, but was being used as a scapegoat to cover the tracks of actual criminals roaming around.
NSFAS had since issued a statement that it never incurred any financial loss due to Mani's spending.
MaliDayimani People must understand, by LAW a certain amount of money deposited into an account is red flagged and reported to SARS for investigation.
MaliDayimani The bank that the money was transferred into must be held accountable for a deposit of 14mil. The person who transferred that money as well as the institutions management also should be held accountable. Why were these people not held accountable for their part in this?
MaliDayimani It is typical of South Africa to see criminals supported.
MaliDayimani I just wanna know, was she given an option to either pay or jail time like that magogo or it was just direct imprisonment no other options?
MaliDayimani You are still labelling her 'the NSFAS thief'
MaliDayimani A higher court will give 15 years
MaliDayimani I dont think so. She knew full well it was not her money
MaliDayimani Don't look at her and say the court made an error. Look at her and say the courts have all made severe errors letting off far worse transgressors
MaliDayimani Mxm, she bought wrong memeza🤮🤮 . May the High Court say the sentence stays 🏃🏃🏃
MaliDayimani Will all thief’s get this support going forward?
MaliDayimani You misspelled both his name and his surname.
MaliDayimani If her sentence stands then most of the Anc will end up in jail.. but that'll never happen, because they're well connected and rich
MaliDayimani Did she use the money or didn't she? It can't be yes and no, if yes, the court made no mistake in its judgement, and the activists who feel otherwise show evidence of their flexible morality which respects no truth.
MaliDayimani It’s was too harsh indeed
MaliDayimani Guilty. Go sit in jail.
MaliDayimani Vindication for Sibongile she doesn't deserve that severe punishment just because she's not a high profile or minister thumps down to unequittable justice system
MaliDayimani How is a hero this young lady? I know most people feel it was government money, so it’s ok. They are wrong, that was public money that was meant for the poor students to have access to higher education. If she had bought a house for her family or something good, it’s still wrong
MaliDayimani Good news for anyone who gets free money and spends it
MaliDayimani Ridiculous! She is a common criminal. Who will ever employ this woman?
MaliDayimani Bahlulwa ubhushiri bazonyela enganeni engatshontshanga
MaliDayimani A 'mistake'...like the then 27 year old mother of two primary school aged children made a 'mistake'? A top student and student politics leader at that. Come on. At what age and status in life do we assume people to be mature enough to understand that actioms have consequences?
MaliDayimani Mxm. R818,000 was spent on expensive things. Enjoy jail.
MaliDayimani I'm forever grateful Ma'am Nelly I enjoy trading with you and your company, thanks once more again Nelly_wa_Macha
