Bathabile Dlamini has been given a R200k fine or a 4 years prison term

Magistrate Betty Khumalo said her sentence considered the severity of the offence and the best interests of society and the offender. Dlamini was sentenced to a fine of R200 000 or four years imprisonment.

“Half of the sentence is suspended for a period of five years under the condition that the accused is not convicted of the offence of perjury,” said the magistrate.

Magistrate Betty Khumalo found Dlamini guilty of perjury for lying under oath during a 2017 inquiry into the social grants debacle at the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa), which left millions of beneficiaries unsure about whether they would receive their money.
