Lerato’s honesty is on another level. Thank you for bringing her to your podcast. I learnt a lot

She gets My respect for loyalty to her husband.

I relate to the rejection part. Justice thanks for being super compassionate and understanding to every interviewee, it’s truly remarkable how you make them tell their stories an without an incline of judgement. And that’s why this is my favourite podcast!

I see a true reflection of my self from every aspect of her life.

Out of all God redirected your life, good things are yet to come❤

She went to High School in my hometown, that high school was good,makes sense why she is so well articulated.

The true meaning of why God blocks some of your wishes… she wanted to study accounting but it didn’t happen… until she forced her way into accounting

Lerato is well articulated.

What a great interviewee... she was so honest and well articulated. But the interviewer dropped the ball on his follow up questions or probing... I was left with more questions than answers

Greed has gotten her here. Perhaps if she could have stolen one to patch the essentials, her colleagues would have not gotten jealous or even noticed.

I'm not judging her on her crimes but I can tell how empty she felt before and after stealing all that money. The emptiness is a consequence of living a life without God. No matter how much you rise in your career or how much money you acquire, there is still no happiness or fulfilment. Only God gives true happiness and peace not money. A life without God is aimless, you'll just be going around in circles.

The problem with people who steal is that they just plan up until the stage where they succeed with the stealing. They however fail to plan how to get away with their crimes. Iam happy you have accepted your wrongdoing (although this came after). Last month i dealt with someone that got 10 years imprisonment on fraud and 5 years on money laundering. She also refused to testify and just close her case.

I hope Lerato has learnt her lesson and will get a second chance and do better, and be better next time.

When you say deal with your debt it really heats me to the core.

Ausi lerato, that is very insightful, also try to spend time with God, allow him to direct you, to walk this journey with you, he is able to do exceedingly, abundantly and above what man can comprehend

I think the Fraud Awareness should be done in University and Colleges esp for finance studies. The effects and all so that when they are in the real world they will know that temptations are there and so are consequences.
