READER LETTER | Mani is a thief and dishonest
Sibongile Mani was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment for theft of NSFAS funds.
Within hours of the transfer, Mani spent R20,000 on cigarettes and whisky – the kind that costs R700 a bottle. She and her squad staggered around wearing expensive weaves and showed off iPhones and other signs of success until the bubble burst. Do not give the excuse that she is a victim, because she is black or poor or why not the Guptas and so on. A poor student would not be this extravagant – she is a thief, dishonest and selfish. The money she stole could have gone a long way in providing financial assistance to hundreds of other students.
But she denied them such an opportunity because of her greed. I sympathise with her and I hope she will realise her mistake.
