They allegedly told her, presuming I don’t make the trade, it will be the last time I see my child.” She agreed to do what she was told because she was forced to.

She claims to have gone into the framework and transferred R2.7 million while keeping R300,000. “After 60 minutes, I decided to break the record by increasing the amount to R27 million.” When the organization recognized this, they alerted the authorities. This was the biggest blunder I’d ever made.”

In 2012, she was sentenced to ten years in prison. While being held at Moder police headquarters, Mantwa went through a lengthy preliminary examination. She joined the Gauteng Department of Community Safety’s rehabilitation program and got down on Get and Stay Out (GOSO) when she was detained.
