The coordinator of the event, Miti Mhlaganyebe said the money would be deposited into an interest-bearing account with Stanbic Bank and the parents of the contestants would be one of the signatories.
Mhlagayebe said they called the parents and they agreed to the new arrangement
But this did not go down well with some parents. One of the parents, Flora Masholoko, whose daughter took fifth position, said she does not agree with this agreement. Position five winner gets P10,000, but Masholoko was given a cheque for P2,000, which is 20 percent of the total amount.
