Despite being given two weeks, ANC Women’s League (ANCWL) president Bathabile Dlamini was unable to come up with the R100,000 needed to pay her fine and keep her out of jail.
Despite his insistence that she could not afford the fine, Dlamini arrived in court dressed in what appeared to be a designer outfit and shoes and sporting an expensive handbag.
Dlamini was convicted of lying under oath last month when she gave false evidence in 2018 on the appointment of SA Social Security Agency work streams. Bathabile Dlamin consults her attourney over what she could afford to pay after it was revealed she could not afford the R100,000 fine.n which MPs were found to have abused travel vouchers, had not been expunged from her record. “It goes without saying that both [convictions] have an element of dishonesty and misrepresentation and sentencing [for this crime] should be considered [with the previous conviction in mind].
Outside the courtroom, Dlamini's supporters gathered, singing struggle songs and showing their allegiance to the ANC.“She's out,” one woman cried.
