#NSFAS: STILL A MYSTERY HOW R14M WAS LOADED ONTO MANI'S MEAL CARD

Cape Town - How R14 million was loaded onto the meal card of Walter Sisulu University (WSU) student Sibongile Mani remains a mystery, with the university, financial aid and the vendor responsible for making the payment refusing to accept responsibility.
On Wednesday, Parliament’s higher education portfolio committee was briefed by WSU, payment company Intellimali and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).
Mani sparked a storm after it was discovered she had blown more than R800 000 of the R14m erroneously loaded onto her card instead of the monthly R1 400 allowance in June.
Intellimali has since instituted a forensic investigation and lodged a criminal case with the SAPS.
It has repaid WSU the money spent by Mani.
Briefing the committee, WSU vice-chancellor Rob Midgley described the overpayment as “extraordinary” and said it had caused enormous reputational damage.
“This has been a massive wake-up call to everyone. The institution has seriously suffered as a result.”
He said WSU was in support of any process to investigate the matter.
“We are not suspecting rogue behaviour from our staff members,” Midgley added.
He said a spreadsheet of amounts due to students had been sent to Intellimali.
Midgley maintained it was accurate, with the names of more than 14 000 students, including Mani’s.
“We have no reason to doubt the integrity of our system,” he said.
The error was picked up by the university’s system of reconciliation of the distribution of student funds on its campuses.
“There was a delay in reconciliation; we were handing over from campus to institutional-based systems when we picked up the discrepancy.”
NSFAS also distanced itself from the error. Intellimali chief executive Michael Ansell said the spreadsheet file was processed correctly and no error report was registered after the money was uploaded. 
“There was no oversight, no error or negligence,” he said.
He added that the system feedback had confirmed Mani had received her R1 400 monthly allowance, but told how she had checked her balance several times before her spending spree. 
“We have all records on her spending until we deactivated the card.

ZODWA WABANTU BLAMES 'POLITICS' FOR CANCELLED ZIM GIG

Zodwa Wabantu claims that "politics behind closed doors" was the reason her performance at a private club in Zimbabwe over the weekend was canned at the 11th hour. 
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, an angry Zodwa said she received a text message late last week, while in Mozambique notifying her of the cancellation. The entertainer claimed that she was advised to tell fans she was "too sick to perform". 
"The show was cancelled at the last moment, they said I must tell everyone that I am sick and they would send me money to cover the trouble. It's a political thing. It was politics behind closed doors because apparently people were protesting that they want me to perform and sponsors were pulling out of the event because reports about me were drawing too much (negative) attention to the event," Zodwa said.
A fuming Zodwa then cancelled another performance at a club in Harare because she "felt disrespected" by authorities in the country.
"I was originally told not to come because of the way I dress but everyone knows that I don't wear panties. It is not like I walk around and lift my skirt to show everyone that I don't wear underwear, so why are people so upset? They should fix themselves before they try to fix me.
"I am angry that they are always dragging my name and brand through the mud. The (media) reports have all been about what they say about me and how they are trying to stop me performing. I have had enquiries from around the world but they have all wanted to know more about my trip than about my career. It is not right ," she said.
Despite the controversy surrounding her performances in the country, Zodwa said she would return to Zim in the future but it would be on her own terms.
"I love Zimbabwe and my fans there love me. I can't let them down. I will return but I need time and to do it properly," she said.
Zodwa has hogged headlines for the past few weeks after she was billed to perform at the Harare International Carnival. Zimbabwean authorities initially stated that she would only be allowed to perform if she wore underwear, then issued an apology, which was short lived. 
Two weeks ago authorities issued a ban surrounding Zodwa's performance after a complaint was laid  by local actress Anne Nhira.
Anne questioned why a South African was being used to perform when there were many young Zimbabweans who were working hard and were more than capable of doing the same job.  Zodwa responded by lambasting the actress and accusing her of dividing the continent.
Here's a look at text message Zodwa received which was supplied to TshisaLIVE.

PICS:FAKE OFFICERS BUSTED AT 'CHILLIES' FUNERAL

DURBAN - POLICE arrested two people impersonating law enforcement and military authorities at the funeral of Durban’s alleged hijacking kingpin, Sandile “Chillies” Bhengu.
Police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbhele said the two were arrested at the Wentworth Cemetery, where Bhengu was buried.
"Two suspects were arrested for impersonating Road Traffic Inspectorate and Navy officials by wearing their uniform at the cemetery," she said.
They were expected to appear in the uMlazi Magistrate’s Court on Monday. 
At Bhengu’s uMlazi funeral, helicopters circled the area where the funeral service for the 36-year-old took place. Motorcycle riders escorted his body to the cemetery, while young men and women danced outside the community hall. The funeral was attended by hundreds of people.
Police searched their bags for weapons and staged roadblocks. 
On Friday night, several cars were stolen in neighbouring Chatsworth and burnt in uMlazi, allegedly in his honour. One was burnt at the spot in uMlazi’s B section where the alleged kingpin was shot at the end of August.
On social media many celebrated Bhengu, but this has opened up wounds for many who have been victims of crime. Victims said people 
like Bhengu terrorised the community. 
Sandile 'Chillies' Bhengu
One 32-year-old Bluff woman who was hijacked on her way home three months ago, was angered by people on social media who appeared to be in awe of Bhengu. 
“People talk nonsense and say he was not brutal. They don’t know how brutal the trauma is that you go through after the hijacking. It changes your life in a bad way – you are always suspicious, always scared, always anxious.
“I had an incident after my hijacking because I thought I was being hijacked again, I could have died. People who have never gone through this would go and celebrate until they lose one of their own,” said the woman. 
Another 28-year-old woman from Newlands, who was hijacked in January, said the incident robbed her of her freedom. 
“These people take more than your car, they take your freedom. I am quite frankly disgusted at the glorification of a low-life criminal. Those who celebrated, I say spare a minute for those who lost lives, relatives, their freedom, because of crime,” she said. 
Another woman on social media claimed that Bhengu had killed her father in 2014. 
“He shot and killed my dad in front of us… and took off with our car leaving us in the middle of nowhere with my dad’s dead body. We begged him to take the car and spare my dad’s life. Today we have no father because of him.”  
Attempts to contact the woman were unsuccessful.

At the funeral service, one man held up a placard which read: “They killed our friend and now they are here to witness their brutality, shame on you cops.” 
Police presence was heavy in uMlazi during the week and deployed officers kept a watchful eye at the funeral and at various spots in the township.
Bhengu was killed in a shoot-out with police on August 30 after he was allegedly caught removing a tracking device from a stolen vehicle in uMlazi. 
The car had been stolen in Chatsworth, police said.
Police Minister Fikile Mbalula issued a stern warning in the lead-up to Bhengu’s funeral, assuring residents that threats made to commit crime such as carjacking and killing of police officials to glorify thuggery would not be tolerated.

MALEMA TO GRADUATE WITH BA HONOURS

Julius Malema EFF leader  is set to graduate with a BA Honours Degree in Philosophy with Unisa on Wednesday, his party announced on Tuesday.
"We are proud of this achievement as it impresses upon all to value education," EFF spokesman Mbuyseni Ndlozi said on Tuesday.
"With all the pressures of serving our people in the EFF, Parliament and Africa, the CIC Julius Malema still made time to improve his education. We say this with the full knowledge that fees remain the biggest stumbling block for many to access education. To that end, the qualifications of the CIC must be proof that those who demand the end to fees in universities do so because they are indeed academically deserving," Ndlozi said.
Early on in his political career, the former ANC Youth League president’s matric results came under the spotlight when an emailed list did the rounds showing that he had only achieved an H in maths and a G in woodwork, both on the Standard Grade (SG).
At the time the ANCYL branded the emailed list as a “faked” attempt to discredit their leader, but a senior source at the department of education confirmed that the digital copy of Malema's results was “genuine”.
The email also revealed that Malema, 27, passed matric with Es in Sepedi HG and second language Afrikaans HG, an F in geography HG, D in history SG and a C in second language English HG, the latter being his highest mark.
Malema graduated with a  Bachelor of Arts degree in 2016.
He will be formally awarded his BA honours degree during a graduation ceremony on Wednesday evening.

WATCH:#MUGABE'S SONS LAVISH LIFESTYLE EXPOSED

President Robert Mugabe's son, Bellarmine Chatunga, has appeared in a video in which he exposes his lavish lifestyle at a time when most Zimbabweans can hardly afford a decent meal.
Former finance minister Tendai Biti told an opposition rally in Harare last Saturday that most Zimbabweans were "surviving on less than 35 US cents per day" because of grinding poverty in the southern African country.
In a  video posted on YouTube, Chatunga appeared with friends who were drinking alcohol and smoking alongside an unidentified women. It was not clear how many people were in the room where the video was shot but some voices could be heard in the background.
One of the Zimbabwean leader's son’s friends could also be seen describing Chatunga and his other colleagues as "bar rangers".
Watch the video below
Chatunga and his brother Robert Jnr were known for partying and were recently kicked out of a luxurious apartment in the leafy suburb of Sandton in Johannesburg for their "unacceptable behaviour". The duo were allegedly embroiled in a brawl late at night at the apartment block that left a security officer’s leg and arm broken.
This reportedly led to First Lady Grace Mugabe to fly to South Africa to sort out alternative accommodation for her two sons.
In the latest video, Chatunga could seen telling an unidentified friend of his that he was a habitual clubber.
"I have been to the club with you personally so you can’t tell me that you don’t club. Tell them I don’t eat sadza (Zimbabwe’s staple food) from her house, she didn’t even raise me and they can’t tell me anything… they want to judge me," said Chatunga in the video.
"Anyway guys, I hope you are having a great day, live your life and have fun," added Chatunga, who was putting on a camouflage sweater that his 93 year-old father’s government banned Zimbabweans back home from wearing.

32 aged,mother accused of killing newborn

A Mitchells Plain mother has been arrested after she allegedly choked her newborn son to death and hid him under a mattress.
According to a source close to the case, the woman was pregnant by a married man.
The incident happened at the mother’s Beacon Valley home on Saturday afternoon.
A suspicious visitor told her to take the baby to hospital.
The source says police were called to Mitchells Plain Day Hospital where they were informed that the baby boy was dead.
During an interview with the 32-year-old mother, she told police that she already had four children and had hid her pregnancy from her family.
“The boy was the child of a married man. She told police that she hid the pregnancy and was at home when her water broke,” says the source.
“She gave birth to the child in the house and when she was done, people heard noises and came to the house.”
The insider says the mother denied that anything was happening when questioned about the noise and the blood, and covered the child’s mouth and put him in a cupboard.
“Then the people left. She told police that she took the baby out and strangled him. His whole face was blue and you could see an injury under his chin and the cord was still attached.
“An aunty from the church arrived at the house and found the baby and made the mother take the baby to the hospital where she was arrested.”
Police spokesperson, Captain FC van Wyk, confirms the arrest of the mother, and says a murder investigation is underway.
“A post-mortem will be conducted to determine the cause of death,” he says.
When the Daily Voice visited the woman’s home in Jukskei Crescent, a woman who identified herself as the suspect’s mother declined to comment.
The woman’s neighbours say they knew nothing of the arrest or murder case, but few admitted to knowing about a dead baby.
Meanwhile Fouzia Rhodes, a member of the street committee, says she got a fright when she heard the mother was arrested.
“Dit is snaaks dat die mense sê hulle wiet niks (It's funny that people are saying they don't know anything). When I asked one of the guys this morning about that house, he sommer (just) said the house where the baby died. So somebody must know something. We are very concerned and we would want to know why she did it,” says Fouzia.

#DUMIMASILELA'S LAST WORDS TO SIBLING

‘Take care of mom and the family”
These were the last words Dumisani Masilela spoke to his younger brother, Mbongeni, just before he went in for an operation after being shot in an attempted hijacking.
News of the 29-year-old actor’s death broke early on Thursday, plunging industry friends and fans into mourning. Masilela succumbed to his injuries after he tried to drive away as gunmen tried to hijack the car he was in on Wednesday night.
Police spokesperson Kay Makhubele said the incident happened around 8pm in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni.
“It is believed that three people in a Jeep blocked off their car and shot at the victim who was in a white VW Golf 7,” Makhubele said.
Deputy Police Minister Bongani Mkongi visited the grieving family in Van Riebeeck Park on Thursday to convey his condolences.
“We came here as the Police Ministry to give hope and pray with the family that this tragedy is not only resting on them, but on all South Africans. If the family is hurt the whole country is hurt.”
Mkongi promised the family that the police were following up all the leads to arrest the criminals.
“We have the leads and we are going to arrest them. Wherever they are sitting now enjoying their liquor and drugs They must know the law is going to catch up with them.”
Mbongeni Masilela said Dumi, as his brother was affectionately known, had told him something private while in the hospital and he knew that meant he was telling him to take care of their family.
He said the family was thankful to the police for their help and knew that they would do everything in their power to help them.
“We will do everything in our power to assist them (the police) to ensure justice is done. We are saddened and hurt, but we have to be strong for Dumisani. He was our big brother, our role model a son to umama nobaba.
“We appreciate everything he did for us and we will be strong for mama, just as he was for the family.”
The Masilela family were also reeling from the death of his aunt who died after hearing the news. The family also buried Dumi’s father last year.
Before acting, Masilela made it into the Top 16 of Idols SA in 2012. He was also a soccer star.

'HE'S AN ATTENTION SEEKER!' - K.O ON DJ CITI LYTS 'BEEF'

Rapper K.O has cleared the air on the feud between him and DJ Citi Lyts, calling the Shishiliza hitmaker a waste of his time and an "attention seeker".
The feud had started several weeks ago when DJ Citi Lyts took to Twitter to accuse K.O of stealing the unique Skhanda sound from his former artist Kid X.
K.O refused to acknowledge the DJ at the time but that didn't stop Citi Lyts from returning to the platform this past weekend to rip K.O to shreds.
K.O did not respond to the tweets and told TshisaLIVE he had no time for Citi Lyts.
"I saw what he tweeted and I did not reply because he is a waste of my time. I don't care about that guy or what he says anymore. He has been going at me for a long time and its getting tiring," K.O said.
He claimed that Citi Lyts was "looking for attention" with his social media comments.
"I don't have an issue with him but he is looking for attention. It is sad if he is doing this for attention because I won't respond to him," the Run Jozi rapper said.
K.O said he was confused by Citi Lyts' rant because the DJ had come to him at a show just the night before to greet him.
"He wanted to shake my hand. I knew what he had said about me before and I was hesitant but I shook it because I thought that he would stop. He is (rapper) PRO's brother and PRO is my idol. It is just disappointing that he (Citi Lyts) is acting like this," K.O added.
