At this point, UA-cam is giving us more content than we pay for via DSTV!!!
So true
True
Content all over my face
True hle
So true hey
So true. I'm trying to sort out my WiFi at home then cancel my DSTV!
I love the fact that she keeps saying "The choice I made" which takes us back to the saying that says "You're free to choose but you're not free from the consequences of your choice"
I definitely agree with you on this! Thanks!
My takeaway as well! I appreciated that about her.
🙌this one needs a Netflix series, even if it’s one season 🤯
I think is already around
My thoughts exactly !! Can't we sign a petition of some sort!?😂😂😂
I agree 😳 🙌🏽
We need a 3 part series
I agree
My heart breaks because she’s so smart and she would be so far in her career 😭😭💔💔 I am in the Finance and Banking industry and my first class for my degree I remember my lecture telling us that if we have issues with integrity and honesty we must leave the class and find another degree to study…
Great advice from the Lecture 😁
I think if you look at this broadly, its exactly like this with every profession. Every profession can be cheated, from the lowest to the highest
Doing what is right when no one is watching. The more u work for a company the more u see loopholes. Integrity is important.
Anything about handling money is highly tempting to most of the people.
@@Mis_Candy what a piece of advice
This woman will rise up again I can feel it nje.
Crs
For the first time I watched the entire video without reading the comments. I was just so focused on ausi Lerato. I love her accountability, I learned a lot from this. Thank you ladies
same here
I thought I was alone
Same lol
I admire your determination.
No matter how hard I try, I find myself skimming through comments
You're better than me
This lady addresses something very important, the issue of being content with where you at in life
Amen
She's so accountable about her actions, makes her story so impactfull
She doesn't show remorse. It seems she's proud of what she did.
A woman accountable or even gloating about it?
This was an eye opener , always wait for your time do not rush for success.
I like that she was open to talk
be patient
Waze walikhuluma iqiniso. Why r u running??. Linda Bekezela usebenze.
Can we have part 2 with the husband’s story
I must say I’m loving this content
I wanted to know where the husband is ?
eish cant wait too sisi
It's e xactly the same feeling I have. This has been more educational and eye opening .
I am also interested to hear his side of story. Please follow up.
Please sis Lebo and the team
PLEASE BRING LERATO BACK.... WE NEED A PART 2. SHE DID NOT FINISH TALKING PLS
I agree
Totally agree
I wonder why Lebo didn't ask about the husband, whether they're still together or not. And how did he cope on his side. Or maybe they come back together.
We need ppl like Lerato to go to schools/learning institutions...give motivational talks & awareness on white collar crime..this could save youths lives
True. I want to know what happened to the husband
But the host guys. This lady knows how to ask questions. She's so patient and calm. I love you girl.
With regard to Lerato, she has what it take to change South Africa. We need more interviews of this caliber of people to change the narrative.
“It’s okay to dream, but wait for your turn “ -Lerato
Ausi Lavo was that dangerous combination of looks, brains and guts and then there is the charisma to boot.
She is very special, with time she will get all the things she ever dreamed of the right way.
Love it!
Now, this lady and her husband lived the real "partners in crime" life.
Bonnie & Clyde I tell 😊
Bonnie & Clyde
😂😂😂😂
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
She's obviously a very smart woman. Glad she's learned from her mistakes ❤
Not smart
Not really. I'll give her "brave" but not "smart".
She stole millions in 6 months?? Even dumber!
Company she deposited into was owned by her husband and she was supposedly smart??😅 She was not smart!
You don't steal such big money and think no one would notice. Big money is watched over, all the time. In that, she was dumb. I knew this at 18.
If she were smart, she would have recognised what it takes to be successful. Crime was very dumb when millions of kids wished to be at university and get the job she got at her age. She didn't have to. That is being dumb.
And her friends were also dumb! I would never agree to monies like that. When you're dumb, you listen to dumb friends.
She is not dumb but greedy, greed took over all her other senses
I'm crying because I was about to commit fraud for money. I feel.like God was talking to me thru you. Thank you.
No matter how tempted you may be remember to always maintain your ethics and your integrity because the consequences will never be worth it.
I will try to pray for yiym respect yourself. Have dignity the wrongs will make you self respect nf dignity
Your turn is coming. Don't take short cut. You might not be lucky or have mercy like Lerato. So this is warning for you not to even think of doing it. ❤🙏
Don't! Don't! You will ruin all you have already worked for and attained
Please please do not!
'ke rata Bo slay queen akere wa mpona' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love her openness
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
❤️❤️
🤭😂😂😂
😂 love her
😂😂😂
The “anonymous email” was sent by the loose ends she left behind. She was stealing with the colleagues and obviously stopped. They watched her continue to live a lavish life so they knew she was still stealing. Plus she got promoted. 😳
Yes and they were jealous of the promotion and the thing that she's getting rich alone
That was her first mistake. There's no friendship in the workplace, everyone is trying to climb up the ladder and in the process some are pulling others down.
There is no honour among thieves 😆 😄
Yes I wished Lebo asked her who she thinks sent the anonymous email.
@@noninons9317 me too! I also wanted to hear about the husband.
As a young Architecture student, life is hard, being black in the field is hard and you're tempted to make bad decisions. This definitely impacted me. I have a renewed sense of patience for my journey, and will continue to fight the good fight to make it!!! Thanks Ousie Lerato!
Make some bad decisions like?
Bro.. Sticking to the process is gold on its own.
@@Dude-1689 which process
@@simonereid_ basically highlighting the importance of remaining patient and not rushing monetary perks in our ambitions.
@@simonereid_ 😴
I believe the promotion was a setup. They studied her well enough and when the resignation threatened their progressive investigation, they played her game, and gave her money in a form of a promotion and bam! she fell for it.
Thet say in order to catch a criminal, U must send a criminal... whoever suggested dat, knew how de mind if a criminal works & they won
You hit a nail on it's head ,that's 💯 👌 🔥
True ey because there is a big possibility that there wasn't an email that was sent to them to begin with and when the other boss told her about it maybe he also wanted to see her reaction to the news. When she committed the final crime before leaving her position was a confirmation to the investigators that she really has been stealing money from the company.
Nail on the head!!! ‼️
True she isn't as smart as thinks she is. That's exactly what they did
It's always refreshing to see a person acknowledging that they were wrong and learning from it
The problem with us people we hardly learn from someone's mistakes
That is true
This has the potential of being an award winning movie mosi.... I'm even curious to know that special kind of Bonnie and Clide bond this couple had.
😂😂😂😂😂
I like her honesty and the fact that she is taking accountability for her actions.
Talk about taking accountability - I am very proud of you lady...
She is such a storyteller... I hope she comes through again to tell us about the rest of her conviction experience
That's EXACTLY why I enjoyed the interview. She is great at telling her story.
I'm also hooked, I enjoyed watching her, she is good
I enjoyed
listening to her and wished for more.
Was watching till the end...the Bible says, cast a stone when you have no sin. We go through life painful experiences for a reason, all I know is, Lerato's kids will grow up and be successful because of what their parents went through, they will be a guidance in their lives and show them how life is. When you do bad, this a punishment you will get BUT out of that mistake, one must learn, admit their wrong doings and rise again. Great show, loved every minute of it, oooh and her energy👌🏾💥♥️🙌🏾
Wow, thank you!
She so full of energy, you can tell she has learned a lesson, I hope they are still together with the husband
You sum it up beautifully 👏🙌
Morning to see what I could get from him or not but if he is willing I would love love and I hope to hear back soon and let you are there for the Mandalay and
@@mazirayi4892 not sure if I get you with your message?
I am impressed! Ausi Lerato is such an intelligent woman, her intelligence can be used elsewhere. She is truly a changed person.
I love how accountable Lerato is for her actions
Big up Lerato❤
Yeah, her attitude is great. She's not stuck in her mistakes ... forward-focused nje. Love it! 💐🙌
"f f 0
As a finance student I'm finding hard to grasp this.. Like you never think that it can be you because integrity is preached from day one and you know and it becomes second nature to you. Integrity comes first to anything you want to do . Thank you for this eye opener.
Learned that we need to guard our hearts.
What an honest, accountable telling of her story. So much respect for her.
The unjudgemental space, focus, attention and engagement that is given by Sisi Lebo to all her visitors is beyond she deserves an Oscar. Thank you for yet again another enlightening episode ♥️
Akere🥂❤️
What an informative episode! This show deserves to be on Netflix for the whole world to see. I truly understand where Lerato is coming from .She is so smart and well spoken. This opened my eyes to realise that talent channeled into wrong choices can be detrimental to its owner . I'm certain that had aus Lerato not been consumed by greed and the wrong company (friends), she would have flourished when the time was right ,as Relebogile mentioned in her closing remarks. This literally could happen to anyone ! Thank you ladies, may your territories be enlarged for the good work that you guys are doing!!
I couldn’t have said it better myself 💯
The best episode so far but I feel like there is a lot that can still be unpacked from Ausi Lerato, where is her husband, how long did they both serve e.t.c
There's alot ..we need part 2
😅😅😃😃
Eya hle was asking myself same question
where are the houses and cars since they were not taken and what is she doing now to earn a living.
Mmmh I love this lady's transparency. As a young adult who sometimes struggles with peer pressure, I really learnt a lot from this session 🥺🙌🏿💓
I wish this was a two part interview.. I feel like there is still sooooo much that could've been shared.... Like did she ever find out who sent that email, where is hubby now, did they have money saved somewhere lol
Same here, how is she now making money for real. The relationship with the husband, how is it? Is he out? The husbands experience in jail.
I Agree. I have soo many Questions🙉
When did she get out?
She's Not Wearing A Ring,So Does This Mean They're Not Together Anymore?
We Need A Part 2.
@@gadikhathibe55 yohh she needs to come back and tell us
We need a part 2 (maybe just to hear the husbands side of the story as well - thats if they are still together or if he is out) coz this was really an eye opener, especially for some of us who are still in varsity and those who are intending to further their studies ... "Wait for your time" Sis Lerato...
Relebogile engange with her visitor and pay focus as well with interviewing. I truly love that. You're amazing and your channel deserves TV viewing as well. May it grow furthermore.
SABC 3 17:00 weekdays
It's pm sabc 3
I love this woman, that "overseas" and "we ate it together my darling" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I love her
The Overseas part left me in stitches too😂😂😂😂😂 had to repeat. There is something about her tht makes one to just fall in love with her
Lerato is smart! There’s no way she didn’t hide more of that money. How the hell do you pay good lawyer fees for 5 years as a freelance 🤯?
Lol
Let's also give credit to Lebo👏🏾, the way she conducts these interviews is amazing. She always want the interviewee to know why she's asking certain questions.
This lady needs to write a book..
The law of the invisible hand... That’s what this lady is talking about. Always think of the lives of the people you’re ruining when you decide to steal money. Thanks so much lady👏👏👏👏👏
She’s so well spoken and articulate . It’s amazing . Beautiful
She's so smart, it's obvious too see. Even to pull off such a crime required such a high intellect! I'm glad she grew from it
That purple dress is killing me softly
Yohhh and the make up... I mean that stylist killed it today... That lippie colour
@@theglen85 true
That dress got me too.
Each and every single episode of Unpacked has a lesson to it👏🏽👏🏽
Our children need to hear this. Serious learning for both parents and children.
One of thee best shows we have in the country❤️🙌
Literally! Relebogile is so good at this.
I think khumbulekhaya is🤔🤔
I appreciate your compliments ❤️
Lerato is such a smart and amazing person. What happened was unfortunate and i am glad that she is not even trying to justify or defend herself
Relebogile is an excellent host... she really does unpack especially guests who are not necessarily good story tellers.
The purple looks great on Relebogile such a lady 💜.Part 2 about these friends she had young professionals need to know what to look for it will help many.
More demands less supply of money leading to wanting more which leads to crime.
When we get R700 increase, we add car instalment the need goes up, you get another R700 increase you add a bond house the need goes up again.
So go boima shame. We appreciate your educational episodes Rele, you are helping many.
I love her confidence in knowing her company system, I bet there are people doing this but in a smarter way lol. Glad she mentioned that greed sold her.

@@zunaiandre2341 huh
@Ellen Kekana ooh nice one 🙈🙈🙈😂
Why do we still need TV? We are getting fresh and more local content here.
And I am loving it
Yoh I'm literally on the edge of my seat.She's smart you can tell from the way she articulates herself.The love of money neh and greed neh.
Wishing her the best in her new journey.
I love that she is open and honest about her crimes and makes no excuses. She is a smart woman and it makes you realise that criminals are no different from many of us - good backgrounds and families, educated, spouses and parents.
This was a great interview, probably the best yet... the guest was amazing because she has healed and learnt her lesson. Relebogile, continue to be nonjudgemental, it's a beautiful trait in your interviews.
Brave sharing Lerato. Makes one realize that the flashy lives we 'see' are not necessarily about honest acquisition.
Life is about 2nd, 3rd...... chances. Be content. BE content.
I liked the chronology of the interview. It was so collected and no step was skipped, even Lerato made sure.
i was almost disappointed when the host wanted to skip the prison part, not knowing that Lerato would gladly fill us in
"My husband is in tears, I can't cry with him", bogale bjo bo kaa mosadi towe, Lerato 🤣
Lenna ke kgotsitse😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lerato is the matriarch 😀😀
This interview is Gold. Honestly this is Netflix Gold material!!!!
She truly is smart, a true asset.
Eish this is an attack mama, We pray that everyone be at peace and be grateful. cc is so beautiful and very smart. I have learned a lot cc. Being in Financial industry requires discipline. In 15 minutes I am picking up a lot wow. Financial pressure due to standard of living is too much. We need to tone down.Thank you for sharing cc.
Lerato has always been a thief even before working for that company trust me. Even after that she continued to steal from people. Just before going to prison she stole 30k from my sister. Her child's whole year school fees. This woman has always been a scammer and I don't think she is gonna Change. She has learned new tricks from prison and people are still gonna suffer because of her selfish ways.
Unpack is the best show ever….. always informative.
She learned from her mistakes ,the spark of truth in her eyes yoh🤍
“But we ate it together my darling “
Companies should employ her to show them the loop holes they have that can expose them to plausible fraud.
She would make an excellent motivational speaker especially for the youth and those within financial services. She served her time. Wish her nothing but the best.
I like how she is not ashamed to share her story
She has learnt her lesson and its amazing how she can confidentially draw the line between right and wrong
There must be a Netflix special on her entire life, quite intriguing and she'll make a lots of breaks 🤑🤑🤑🤑
I actually agree...I like how she is answering she is thorough
Millions in six months, wow! She's brilliant! Relebogile gives her guests safe space just to talk, I love her 🙏🏾
I really enjoyed the fact that even in her darkest and messy moments, she made a choice and that choice led her to life and her making more life-giving decisions. Her testimony is so powerful. She, for me, has taught and reinforced what I have always said; you ALWAYS have a choice. Thus, always choose the path that leads to life
I also really enjoy her as a person. She seems to be genuine and remorseful for her mistakes which is extremely admirable.
I love how she narrates her story😂😂😂An eye opener story👏👏👏
This was very intresting to watch
...white collar crimes are very common and not everyone is caught...
Thank you so much ausi Lerato😘, we appreciate you and o motho o bohlokwa for sharing your story... I am 23 years old and listening to you has reinforced one of the lessons that I have been learning lately which is to be patient and stay in my financial lane.
Makes the 2 of us😇
This story needs to be a movie 🔥
I like how different this show is. There is always a silver lining at the end of the show.😘
I love this interview. I like the fact that she’s forgiven herself and doesn’t let her past define her. She’s teaching us a good lesson
I love this lady... She really turned lemons to Lemonade, lesson learned Respect your Job, be patient and ur success will eventually unfold beautifully. 🙌
She's a smart woman, Sis Lebo you are such an exceptional woman 👌👌 peer pressure is real especially with social media. Thanks to Lerato for unpacking her story🙏
I kept thinking of the presure on social media when I was listening to her story. It's an eye-opener.
I love how they both carried this interview. She's an excellent interviewee!!!! I want to hear her more.
She's shed some positive light on the correctional services - the rehabilitation; the studying opportunities ect always thought correctional services is what we see in the movies - gang fights and all. Can her husband come share his side of the story? Nice job with this show Ausi Relebogile...
This has to be my all time favourite interview, I like how she's freely giving her information.
Ausi Lerato must just write a book about her life, and also become a motivational speaker. This was the best interview I've ever came across in years. Very informative! Kudos to Lebo, you unpacked it immensely!
Your interviewing skill is on point. You leave no question un-ssked 😁
She's such a smart lady. Very intelligent and calculating.
To Lerato, please record your own UA-cam detailing your experiences till you were prisoned. You wanted to tell all however you were interrupted before you can.
Really enjoyed Lerato's candidness. And the message of patience while dreaming. Thanks for the quality content Lebohang. The storyline of Lerato is Netflix worthy-Mzansi's own Money Heist.
They should make a movie out of this 🙆🏾
😂😂😂😂
It would be so nice
Yes it'd be a good one
Wow, love this story: may she help many people. This is so brave that she shared. Love that she transformed so much. Only God can judge and may her life continue to grow.
Can we get a part two? Of this interview... I loved it. 😭
I would've like to know how long she served and when she was released. Also what happened to her husband etc. I feel like that info would hve completed the story
Yes the story is incomplete.
This is really deep. Especially that Lerato is considering how her actions affected other people. I pray to God to have mercy on her life and that of her family. Masego a Rara ke ao Lerato.
It's her positivity for me, I love her
Can we please have one more season of the show... I miss it so bad. 😪
This women is extremely smart😊 and a hustler 😉. I stan❤
This lady is amazing also. there's a reason she went through what she went through its her calling; I believe she's going to impact lots of lives
Well done to her for her reformed life. I know Lerato from high school . But, I am happy for her and her journey.
This story teaches us all about the damages of peer pressure,being greedy and being content with what you have as you wait for your time to come
I love what she says “its nice to have money, ke batla go dula kena le madi” simple straight and forward relatable answer. Ive never understood this you are committing a crime because you want to be caught, ntho tsa makgoa tseo🙄
'But we ate it together my darling'...😂😂 had me bursting out laughing..
