I had a suspended sentence for theft at a bank I worked at, criminal record, I thought life was over. I slow built again, started first year varsity as a 25 year old, completed studies in food science, with faith and Gods mercy, I have a job, a good life. I received another chance
I like the lady way she tell her story although i don't promote crimes so talented talking skills she can write a book or movie big up girl you are powerful never undermine yourself you learn you mistakes wat I like you don't feel proud about it you regret Danko baba omdala 💰🍾💅🚙👎🙏🙏
How did you get out of the criminal record, was it by New profession? Or was it time? I know someone who needs help but has been thrown rom pillar to post😢
Good interview Justice, thank you for allowing her to explain fully without interjecting 🤝
That “haii yah neh” from justice😂 classic
He who is without sin should cast the first stone.
I wish you can go to tertiary institutions and educate Accounts_Finance students that the money belongs to the company and they're not, in any way, have rights to even a cent. Warn them about the temptation
Wish I could like this multiple times.
Too late for ABUTI KPMG
Easy to say so when there's no money around you, but when it's around you everyday, it's a different ball game
Was that student Sibongile Mani convicted for the 14 million rands NSFAS case?
To my knowledge she has spent some but I think she had to pay it back
I once had a full access to the company safe and one of the SBV guys tried to persuade me telling me how we can steal but I looked at my age and thought otherwise because the guy was already old, he had no other plans for the future anymore so I turned him down.
Good for you❤
The true meaning of why God blocks some of your wishes… she wanted to study accounting but it didn’t happen… until she forced her way into accounting
Right. Sometimes God’s rejection is for protection
Yerrr! Awusemuhle
"You guys were so smart".....How does sending money to your spouse's account because you don't want it to link to you become smart ...i mean....
Still she couldn't deposit it into anyone's bank account its risky
Chill dude
School boy error
Exactly!! Nothing smart about all this !!
He says it on the surface. Have you ever heard of speaking on the surface not logically. Chill
my sister, I salute you. I served 2years out of my 6year sentence got a 3year suspended sentence and I was released on good behaviour for fraud. today I rely on my skill to survive. couldn't continue with my studies and I now have a criminal record under my name, so kids stay in school and grow your business spirit.
Well said
@designerhub257 don't go for fast money! You will be arrested it doesn't last long
Never seen a woman taking accountability for every wrong she’s done.
😂wow
😂😂😂😂😂

Greed is a bad thing.... once u see yo girl is greedy u need to get rid of her she wil put u in trouble... find a God fearing woman who prays n works 4 her family who dsnt live to impress ppl 🙏🙏
I love Lerato's honesty. It shows she has done the work on herself.
true
Thank you 😊
@@leratomanaka1888 I just watched the episode you're the best you caught all my attention😊😊😊
she is hiding some stuff.i think she was into drtugs
@@leratomanaka1888Congratulations
She gets My respect for loyalty to her husband.
I really wish all our corrupt politicians could listen to this interview. Especially the way corruption is affecting millions of people 😮😮😮
It amazes me that corrupt officials are never caught.
@@amandamdambamdamba Those ones have a way to get away with it.
I'm not judging her on her crimes but I can tell how empty she felt before and after stealing all that money. The emptiness is a consequence of living a life without God. No matter how much you rise in your career or how much money you acquire, there is still no happiness or fulfilment. Only God gives true happiness and peace not money. A life without God is aimless, you'll just be going around in circles.
Let's pray for her salvation
My sister I really liked you comment is so inspiring and uplifting thank you
Lerato is well articulated.
You can tell shes educated just messed up big time but her honesty will allow her to start all over again
@@Cheerstolifeee exactly, and towards the end she's trying to use the deceased former employee whom it was alleged stole funds too....unfortunately after 9 years of waiting she will be 50 as she said, and in SA as you know she won't be hired.
Fraudsters generally are well artculated.
She served her time, we all have smaller nyana skeletons in our closets@@nzuluyemfihlakaloancientof5369
More than anything I feel like the most important education for many black people who grew up in poor households is financial education. Listening to these stories, one thing I find in common between them is that people don't know how to spend their money when they get employed, they get in debts and that tempts to the life of theft.
True. I think anyone from poor background who comes across lot of money should honestly get financial advisors or therapy. Because the careless spending of someone from poor backgrounds is a trauma response.
I hope her husband did not dump her because of this because he was the cause of this by not providing for his family and he even enjoyed the stolen money.
From her story, it seems that female prisons are less scary compared to male prisons. Everytime I hear stories about male prisons it sounds like a nightmare. I could be wrong, it's just an observation.
Women take it lightly when we say that it's hard being a man. Even this gbv thing does not address the challenges in our society. Even we as men are afraid of the things that women are afraid of. We have just learned to hate each other as people that we are insensitive to the struggles ahead of us. Humans have failed to love one another.
@@nathanaelbartholomew or maybe men are just naturally dangerous? To society and to each other?
Mara wena baby dont go the, u are so cute
Maybe if men were somewhat nicer to each other in prison, they wouldn't create that scary, nightmare atmosphere. A the end of the day, it is the male prisoners being violent to male prisoners, so the problem is with the males themselves.
Lerato’s honesty is on another level. Thank you for bringing her to your podcast. I learnt a lot
Mos in Mzansi we have aboThabo Bester and Nandipha abaningi....
😂😂😂😂 nee man ur harsh😂😂😂😂
I relate to the rejection part. Justice thanks for being super compassionate and understanding to every interviewee, it’s truly remarkable how you make them tell their stories an without an incline of judgement. And that’s why this is my favourite podcast!
She went to High School in my hometown, that high school was good,makes sense why she is so well articulated.
These alot of this stories, Remember the Boksburg Bookkeeper who stole over R500 million from her employer and the Guy who just got arrested for stealing Bursary funds. Still more are coming it's becoming a norm unfortunately due to grid.
Out of all God redirected your life, good things are yet to come❤
The interviewer is so immature 😢 doesn’t even sound like he prepared proper questions for this interview. The lady was somewhat good at sequencing the events however it could’ve been much better
Go watch her story on Unpacked. Relebogile left no stone unturned with the questions. Her story made more sense there.
You can say that again lot of questions he didn't ask
@@zaraleonard-hw8zz thank you, will do
True like they jumped from one thing to that
Lerato's story is life changing and encourage a person to be faithful. She must write a book about it.
SORRY?? SORRY?? SORRY?? IT'S SAD???
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU MR INTERVIEWER???
He is not good.He couldn’t ask questions that are important
I'm also asking myself what is the Sorry for? He failed to grill her couldn't even get her to tell us how much she stole. Then he calls them a power couple when it was just two thieves
I dont feel sorry for her... anyway, whats the name of the company vele?
Jonnic
M also an accountant, may God help me to resist this stupidity
Interviewer could have asked a lot of questions,he failed us maan
He got involved emotionally by feeling sorry for her smh!!
Ask her wena.
Go watch her story on Unpacked. Relebogile left no stone unturned with the questions. Her story made more sense there.
Did she mention the amount of millions she stole? Why is she still keeping it a secret?
I see people commending her honesty but she never mentioned anything about being papa penny's manager and scamming him, as well as wanting papa penny to scam his fans in Giyani. Also what about sending lawyers recently after 2021 to intimadate people who still confronted her about their monies. I dont have dear sympathy for Lerato and she will continue scamming people, this is a facade and part of clearing her bame campaign to hide behind the thing's she'll still continue doing
This one has always been a scammer from way back. She scammed my sister twice. Just before going to prison she scammed my sister 30k and she’s still so arrogant about it. The problem is that she thinks she’s smart. She tried to scam me and my husband through some reality show nton nton but my husband just read through her. She lacks morals and integrity
Tjoo..ithi uyadlala 😮she will 1 day meet her match yazi...ehh! I'm so sorry sthandwa
well i'd agree with you she started this way back before stealing from her employer she needs to confess
@@amandajekwa9468 thank you girl. Her karma will locate her
@@keankoko941 absolutely
I remember reading your comment a couple of years ago in another interview and thoroughly understood you. I also notice she toned down her energy this time around, she's definitely a career scammer that got caught.
Absolute honestly, Mme Lerato go write a book.
After you said "I'm so sorry" I was screaming at my phone saying why you saying sorry now?? She stole money😂😭
Money is not like killing,,
In America and Europe it is called Intelligence
Poor internal controls in that company , such embezzlement should be detected from the first transaction regardless of the materiality of the transaction
From what I gather she had already rigged the internal systems, they couldn't pick it up , but it was reflected on the banks statements.
They trusted her so much
No here she is confessing mean she feels sorry and she has done her time so what penalty paid finished❤ girl your brave
why do I feel like Ausi Lerato would do it again if she was given another opportunity?😅
😂
She says she wouldn't
She would
@@leratomanaka1888😂😂😂😂
I think the Fraud Awareness should be done in University and Colleges esp for finance studies. The effects and all so that when they are in the real world they will know that temptations are there and so are consequences. Maybe Lerato can start a movement that does that as a way of giving back to the community
She has been now on two shows and said the same things. honesty is the best policy. Something we can all learn from
😊😊😊
Wait until you hear what Matshidiso and Tshediso say what she did to them. The name of their YT channel is Double up with the 2 wins
@@Maria-yp6le please share the link to the video

What a great interviewee... she was so honest and well articulated. But the interviewer dropped the ball on his follow up questions or probing... I was left with more questions than answers
Sad how...you're an accountant with a good job...there's people living in poverty with literally nothing
You were definitely not a qualified accountant. I auditing 101, and basic principles of accounting, you will just know that end of the month we will know, bank acc is not balancing.
Ausi lerato, that is very insightful, also try to spend time with God, allow him to direct you, to walk this journey with you, he is able to do exceedingly, abundantly and above what man can comprehend
She put a stash away somewhere and living off it now :)
Downgrading was the biggest fear....not optional....
But you will end up there anyway and even worse..
Advice for people to downgrade..
No crime in that..
She was always a scammer, a leopard change its spots
Would have loved you to ask a follow-up question when she said, "I also lost my marriage".... what happened to the husband after prison... why did you leave your husband, etc
There are so many gaps in the story.
She explains that part in a show called "Unpacked with Relebogile" ruclips.net/video/WXrBHhjCJeM/видео.htmlsi=bfCiisJ3ezLUdkeo
@@OnlinewithMathutoGo watch her story on Unpacked. Relebogile left no stone unturned with the questions. Her story made more sense there.
@@zaraleonard-hw8zz Thank you Zara
really how can you say sorry to her? and worse you seem to be enjoying or admiring the fact that she committed crime to boost her husbands ego and their status. "I will tell your husband my man,, this woman"... no wonder there are no job, investments or money for service delivery in south africa cause of likeminded people who think being dishonest is cool. she is actually better minded than the interviewer even though she probably caused her colleagues their jobs!!
There’s nothing great about her actions.
Lol this interviewer is next, he is tempted 😅
😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
The thing is once you have passed the first time, there is no turning back, and you are still going to be arrested, arrested for only 2K so you must as well go for another bag😂😂😂
🤣 🤣 🤣
Very true Leopard never changes it spots
,😂😂😂😂
I struggle to understand how are accountants not good with money, it never make sense to me.
Only stingy people are good with money 😂
@@nkululekongwenya7859 more like wise people...
Being good with money is personal finance, sadly no accounting degree teaches that😢
Accountants are not so smart with money
@@nkululekongwenya7859 That's what the black society do, to make people feel bad for planning their finances... They want everyone to go down with them.
Nice, sad,eye opening story, apparently i love your interviewing skills, you let your guest flow❤
He's very good this guy
Maybe your husband sent a tip off
Maar she didnt explained how she stole Millions...what a waste of time
It is to prevent others from doing what she did
Is that all you took from this story? The secrecy of the amount didn't overshadow the interview's purpose. They most likely established boundaries at the beginning of the interview clarifying specific topics to delve into. Professionalism and respect has to be maintained and If the conversation derails, the interviewer knows to gently steer it back on track by asking more insightful questions. You learned nothing, so you wasted your own time.
She did
Maar jy moet nie steel nie😂😂😂 seems like u learnt nothingk wena
I havent heard her specifically apologizing to the ex husband. Her actions also put him in prison. But overall, an eye opener. ❤️
Thet planned it together. Why must she apologize konje?
It’s not a lot of woman her age, that’s so emotionally content and intellectually mature.
Lerato speaks so well. I'd listen to her speaking the whole day❤.
This man couldn't sympathise with the lady who paid her own lobola but here he is feeling sorry and empathetic for this criminal
I am shocked, he's a hypocrite....mind you this criminal is not even telling the whole story, she is still hiding how much she stole
Chest pains 🤧
Right!! He was so insensitive with the other lady only to be empathetic with a criminal. Makes no sense.
Was a criminal, served her time , learnt from her mistakes, and now she is educating the community
8 year sentence, only she served 2,5yrs! Like really??
Lerato still has the money 💰
She's still chowing it!!
Yh I think so cause some people at the company where in retrenchment
😂😂😂
@@OceanView14 really?
I believe so cuz she doesn't want to tell how much she stole😂
I Think so too😂
Blaming the parents why can't people take responsibility
I didn't steal because I didn't have present parents
I'm still a people pleaser but not a THIEF
Dear you have a thief in you it has nothing to do with your parents it was your decision period
Why are you NOT blaming your parents for being in finance and moving up in your career but you blame them for the WRONG
Why come for an interview and then refuse to disclose the amounts?.... attention seeking.
She denied everything in court, why produce new self implicating evidence?
Yh 😂
Maybe she hid some of the money
Is that all you took from this story? The secrecy of the amount didn't overshadow the interview's purpose. They most likely established boundaries at the beginning of the interview clarifying specific topics to delve into. Professionalism and respect has to be maintained and If the conversation derails, the interviewer knows to gently steer it back on track by asking more insightful questions. No attention seeking detected!!!
@@Professor_Stark Key word say for me...the whole point of such conversations is the vulnerability that comes with it and vulnerability means baring it all, what harm does it do to her to share such information? also look at the thumbnail it says millions. what does that tell you they knew that's what would grab our attention and it did her story is not as genuine if it comes with conditions.
I love this lady so much, she explained herself so well, she is taking responsibility, she is beautiful. I will her well.
Thank you 😊
❤🎉@@leratomanaka1888
I see a true reflection of my self from every aspect of her life.
No I liked your interview, and charmed by Lerato, beautiful lady indeed
Greed has gotten her here. Perhaps if she could have stolen one to patch the essentials, her colleagues would have not gotten jealous or even noticed.
I'm watching this podcast for the 2nd n last time now, the host is horrible.
I often get temptation... When I am about to do something wrong the is something in me that stop's me🙏🏽🙌🏽
Hehehe send in my account am broke 😂
But why is she hiding other information? 🤔
Sad story, did not get to hear how much time she actually spent in prison.
Anyways, my synopsis is a cloud of troubled was always hovering above her (if you listen to her past). People in our society are broken in may ways and once they reach adulthood they need to be responsible enough to seek therapy. Lesson to parents children ned love and a secure home environment, which was not the case in Lerato's case.
I wish her well in life.
Thank you 😊
@@leratomanaka1888sesi❤❤❤
She said she spent 2 years 6 months in prison
Lerato should find funding and make a movie or series by her experiences, she can make clean money for her and her children
With her knowledge and experience she could be an advisor to companies on how to detect theft and what signs to look for and how to best protect or atleast recognize early suspicious activity. I am hopeful that she will get a second chance.
Great advice. Thank you 😊
Companies don't take such risks. As soon as they find out she was in prison for frauding a banking institution its an automatic decline. Unless she can start her own company
She will still steal money this one, I don’t think she even regrets doing it.
So baby why didn’t you buy better wigs perhaps ??? De ting shock me like where did that money go sthandwa ??
So lady grew up a thief and a bully....I am hoping that her kids don't follow the same.
Did she return any monies to the company?
O star sister I don't care If God forgives you or what ostar nna kerr ostar o naledi.......!!!
Am sorry to use the language but the lady was stupid back then, i mean how do you send money from your spouse ofcos she was going to be court, but she said it herself she likes to put her self in trouble not out of it.
When the interviewer said “ let me not say steal, rather take” . 😂
That was so dishonest 😭
Im saying, isnt it the same thing..smh
The best Sesotho speakers/storytellers a from from Welkom & Bloemfontein
You could've gotten away with your mistake was using your husband account
What is the intention of this interview? Is it to encourage people to steal or ? I am geting the vibes that she is playing the hero. It’s like she wants the public to know what she has been up to. She wants fame from her scamming activities. Absolutely no remorse whatsoever.
I hope Lerato has learnt her lesson and will get a second chance and do better, and be better next time.
im killed by "aowa there goes lerato" no worries lerato i have those moments every week
i also work in Finance department as an accounts payables administrator yey it is so tempting shemu but we can't steel because each and every transaction that i process needs to be signed and approved by my two seniors ( Head of finance and financial controller) .
Well articulate i admire her for honesty....i always tell people close to me if you steal from company many people will be affected by your decision......be content with what you have best solution.....
This could happen to anyone imali impande yesono ..the temptation is too much
The gentleman said "I am so sorry", for what, what about standing up for what is right rather than what is wrong?
Because she is taking responsibility for her crimes and she is sorry
Eh eh which one is this one!!! Yho Lerato
😂😂😂
Wasting Gods gift of intelligence for greed. I wish I could have a qualification to just see the next day
Ok...listened to the story from Rethabile Mabodja some time back..
Thanks for this comment coz I’m thinking I’ve heard this before.
Relebogile Mabotja hle
Ooh i also remember her wearing red blazer yaa
Me too
Yes I also remember it
I like your personality. I think you might do well if you had your own podcast. You are very well spoken sister Lerato
Thanks Lerato, read the bible if interested and your heart is willing, get to know Jesus he is love, what is lacked in us God gives more than expected and unconditionally and what you have lacked in your character he will plant a seeds that flourish, he forgives, delivers, heals and restores because thats who he is. You are still young, dream again and build again.
Amen 🙏🏽
@@leratomanaka1888❤
This can be turned into a movie, even a novel. There are so many things this sister is filtering in her story which will make a movie/book very interesting.
This woman is the real deal, so cool, repentant and taking accountability. What a loss for the other brother✌
Im sorry too (speaking to her inner child) ❤ stealing is not good but i feel her ❤
❤❤❤
She doesn't look like she once had over 200k on her account there's a. Video exactly like this posted back in 2022 so nawe bafo you just stole that content for views 😭🤣🤣💔💔💔
I wish the interviewer would've dug deeper into some of her statements.
I appreciate that she's your guest and you need to treat her with grace, but remember to balance that with your audience and the gaps in understanding the story.
Please do better next time.
True, his follow up questions were very poor. I feel like more details were skipped...
@@thulambuli1779 Kakhulu. Very unfortunate.
Interviewer was very POOR today. The details that were skipped are too much.. In my opinion Lerato is not very articulate in her story and you making it worse.. Everything is not flowing... For example the person whon snitched on her was covered.
