JOHANNESBURG – The student who received an erroneous payment of R14 million‘s life is being threatened.
Sibongile Mani is seeking legal advice as the investigation continues into the payment into her Nsfas card.
She is alleged to have spent over R800 000 of the money in a period of three months.
Even though she attended the press conference, leaders of the Pan Africanist Student Movement of Azania, refused to allow her to speak. They said it might jeopardize her case.
They also said her life is being threatened and have asked members of the public to give her the space to recover from the trauma.
After the press conference, Mani was mobbed by angry students, calling for her to pay back the money.
The police had to step in and drive her to safety.
“As things stands, she has not been charged with any crime, We are told of the ongoing investigating, so what we are doing is that we are preparing a proper legal defence just in case she gets charged. From where we stand we doubt she will ever be charged, from where we stand she didn’t commit a crime, but we will let the courts deal with that matter,” said Vusi Mahlangu, Pasma spokesperson.
