A student from South Africa accidentally transferred a million dollars of a scholarship, but she managed to spend only 60 thousand

She spent them on expensive alcohol, parties and clothes.

Student of the South African University of Walter Silles by mistake instead of a scholarship of $ 100 received a million dollars. The girl did not report this, deciding that this was not a mistake, and began to spend money. The oversight was discovered only a few weeks later, when she already managed to spend 60 thousand dollars. It is reported by CNN.

Intellimali, serving student accounts, said that the employees accidentally mixed up the amount of the girl’s cash allowance and added four extra zero to the amount. The error was found after 73 days and only after the appeals of one of the students to the leadership of the university, when he noticed huge expenses of the student.

The girl blocked the card and returned the remaining money back. The press secretary of the University of John Tukwayo said that the student would “bear responsibility” for the money spent.

The girl did not begin to reveal the name of the girl, but the journalists of The Sun found out that it could be Sibongile Money. The publication found a check from the local SPAR hypermarket, which indicates the initials of a student and a large balance on her account.

Mani did not hide her expenses and in every possible way told her friends and acquaintances about them, taking them out the best places at parties and treating them in expensive restaurants. The publication found out that the girl spent about $ 860 a day, that by South African standards it was huge money. When the error was discovered, on Twitter, the girl refused to admit it.

On Facebook, Mani wrote that she did not know how she would return the money spent, since it doesn’t work anywhere.

Intellimali agreed to take responsibility for the situation and said that she had already introduced new rules in order to prevent the repetition of such errors. The incident was called "the most unprecedented in the history of the company." It is afraid that against the student will initiate the case for illegal assignment of funds.
