Mahanuke claimed to have obtained a master's degree in 'Competitive Intelligence' from ACI College, at Harvard Business School and an undergraduate engineering degree from the Vaal University of Technology.

ACI College and Harvard Business School were found to be two separate institutions while the 'Competitive Intelligence' degree was found to not exist.
