Prishne Khan didn't play her cards right when she hopped into her freezer to avoid being arrested by police, having squandered more than R3 million on gambling. The poor 37-year-old gambling addict and former finance manager was handed a 10-year prison sentence after she was found guilty on 63 counts of fraud.

When she appeared in court in May 2018, she pleaded guilty. She claimed that she needed the money and used the money to buy her husband a car. "However, evidence in the pre-sentence report revealed that she had used the stolen funds for gambling," Mahanjana said. At the time of sentencing, Khan sought leniency from the court, claiming she was responsible for her children, aged six, 12 and 15. She added that she was also ill. However, the Magistrate said that Khan showed no remorse.
