‘PAYBACK THE MONEY NATASHA THAHANE’
Tutu’s granddaughter, Natasha Thahane began trending minutes after the presidency confirmed his passing.
Tweeps are demanding the Blood and Water actress to pay the R1 million with her late grandfather’s policies when they kick in.
Thahane revealed in her interview on MacG’s Podcast & Chill last month that she received funds from the government.
She said she reached out to politician Baleka Mbet as she needed funding to study at the New York Film Academy in the United States in 2017.
She added that she “made a call” to Baleka and asked her to help get her money to study.
Baleka, who was the speaker of parliament and the ANC chairperson at the time allegedly arranged her funding.
“I asked Mam’ Baleka (Mbete) and was like, ‘Mama, I need to go back to school. I’ve been accepted.”
“I don’t know what I’m going to do, can I have funds?”
“Please arrange something for me.”
“She managed to speak to (the department) Arts and Culture and they were able to help me.”

“How related was the archbishop to The Blood & Water star, Natasha Thahane who is now famous for; “I called Mam’ Baleka and I said, Mama.”
@RossMerielle:
“South Africans have every right to be upset”.
“Natasha received a million rand of taxpayers money.”
“It’s not surprising that’s she’s trending alongside her grandfather.”
