The children’s stories brought money from 
around the world. Some of the money was to pay 
for their studies at colleges and universities. But 
three years ago some organisations, including 
a large bank and a hotel group, stopped giving 
money to the Ithuteng Trust when they heard that 
the money was not reaching the students or their 
colleges. Several former Ithuteng students say 
they had to leave their higher education courses 
because there was no money to pay for their 
education. Some students had so little money 
they had to live on bread. 
The chairman of the Ithuteng Trust board, Joseph 
Kganakga, says the news is a nightmare and 
he is angry and disappointed. He has resigned 
from the board, together with two other board 
members who said they now had no confidence 
in Ms Maarohanye.
