While speaking on Podcast and Chill With MacG, she says when she got admission, she didn’t have quite enough money for the tuition fees. She began to use her connections to raise funds.

Natasha Thahane continued as she said that she had to connect with Baleka Mbete (while she was still at the Parliament) and told her to help her with funds for her education, because she needed to go back to school.

The 26-year-old Natasha Thahane confirmed that she spent over 1 million Rand plus for her tuition fees at the Academy. Baleka Mbete contacted the Department of Arts and Culture on her behalf to help raise funds, which was granted.

According to Natasha Thahane, she says she didn’t want to ask for funds for the entire years she would be spending at the New York Film Academy, because she felt they won’t grant her. She had to request for just one year session funds.

In essence, all she said is that the government funded part of her education and her family also did.

Natasha Thahane is currently under fire as South Africans are dragging her on Twitter, Tiktoker, YouTube and Instagram.

South Africans are currently asking Natasha on Twitter, why didn’t she go through NSFAS

(National Student Financial Aid Scheme) for funding, but went through Baleka.

Apparently, she’s blocking people who are dragging her.
