A student from the University of the Free State (UFS) who had allegedly been scamming other students by selling fake laptops and promising them accommodation was identified
"Nkosinathi Mthembu", whose real name is Lehlogonolo Ditsebe, scammed Athenkosi Madikane, who paid him R1700 for a laptop.
I needed the laptop for my studies, so when I saw the advert in one of the student university groups, I immediately contacted the guy. At the time, he was using the name Nkosinathi Mthembu. I wanted to know if I could trust him and he gave me two options: to pay 50% when I received an SMS from Paxi and the rest when I got the parcel.
“I was very excited as I made my way to Pep in town in Vereeniging. He had told me that he included a pillow to protect the laptop. At the store, the cashier was carrying the parcel as if it was light. I got the parcel and indeed I felt the pillow but there was no laptop. I was shattered and I remember just walking around the mall not knowing what to do or where to go,” he recalled.
