Orlando Pirates player Thembinksoi Lorch was dragged on Twitter after his girlfriend Natasha Thahane said she received a R1 million scholarship to study abroad on an episode of Podcast And Chill on 25 November.
NATASHA’S R1 MILLION SCHOLARSHIP SCANDAL
Natasha Thahane told MacG that she received R1 million to study abroad. The Blood & Water actress also said that former speaker of the National Assembly Baleka Mbete assisted her.
“I asked Mam’ Baleka (Mbete) and was like, ‘Mama, I need to go back to school. I’ve been accepted. I don’t know what I’m going to do, can I have funds? Please arrange something for me.’ She managed to speak to (the department) Arts and Culture and they were able to help me,” said Natasha.
This caused an uproar on Twitter. Tweeps wanted to know Natasha received that amount of money while other students were struggling for funding. After former leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA) Mmusi Maimane asked Natasha to explain to the public, she released a statement. The statement said that didn’t have a personal relationship with Mbete and she only received R350 000.
“She (Mbete) advised me to explore the Department of Sports and Arts and Culture because they have got funding opportunities. That was my first conversation and last conversation with her. She did not make any calls on my behalf and did not send any emails on my behalf and I apologise for diluting the entire scenario because I made it seem like I had a personal relationship with her,” she said.
