The young lady pushed the bounds when she went on to claim that she became an exotic dancer and that her grandmother had been to jail. The grandmother ended up stopping her, asking her if she said she was a prisoner. The grandmother argued that she does not think the University of Cape Town would accept her application following the bizarre story she told. In a heartwarming moment, the grandmother insisted she would rather pay for her studies by taking out a loan rather than have her make false claims.
