It is alleged the millions were erroneously deposited into her account by Cape Town-based company Intellimali. The company is contracted by the NSFAS to make payments to students.

It is the state’s case that this was between June 1, 2017, when the money landed in Mani’s account, until August 13, 2017, when the NSFAS found out about the error.It was revealed in court that she spent the money in East London, Johannesburg and Pretoria. Mani made a four-hour long appearance in court accompanied by a woman who identified herself as a friend.
