Moipone then got charged almost half a million by the bank after prematurely withdrawing R5 million that she had put aside for her children. She blessed her brother-in-law with R1 million just for existing, bought her estate agent a car and sprinkled R5K on top of it.

The lady bought 10 cars that she no longer owns today and lost half a million on a fake tender bribe. During her dry days, she sold one of her cars for R7K and was in desperate need of a job.
