Sibongile is said to appear in the East London Regional Court and she is facing charges of theft for allegedly spending a whipping R800 000 of the funds that were sent to her account by mistake.
Today's court proceedings will be the beginning of Mani's case as the state concluded the case back in July 2021, according to SABC News.
Mani was meant to receive only R1 400 from NSFAS as her monthly allowance and by an a error she found herself receiving more than she was meant to, but instead of reporting the error, Mani went on shopping sprees.
"Mani spent a reported amount of R11 000 a day in a period of three months, spending the money on new cell phones, weaves and expensive alcohol", said The South African.
Sibongile is currently released out on bail after a warrant of arrest was issued against her.
Mani was arrested in May 2018 by the Serious Commercial Crime Unit of the Hawks as a result of her involvement in the unlawful distribution of NSFAS funds.
