Talking to Newzroom Afrika, seasoned Groundup Journalist Raymond Joseph explained how in 2017 a non-profit company received a hefty amount of R20.2-million rand from the National Lotteries Commission. However, the NLC refused to disclose details as they want to protect the privacy of some of their donors.
“I’ve literally just published a story, in fact, what happened back in 2017 an NPO called Zibsibix Mode [sp] was given R20.2 million rand for an initiation project. To this day I don’t know what entails because what happened is that I have put in a prior request and I was refused because the NLC told me that they had to protect the privacy of their donors and they would refused to say anything about it” said Raymond Joseph
SIU has confirmed that actress #TerryPheto is being investigated for National Lotteries Commission fraud scheme amounting to millions. But the Tsotsi star has denied benefitting from the scandal. Groundup journalist Raymond Joseph elaborates.

Reportedly, Dimakatso’s company was bought off the shelf in 2018, and subsequently, Terry Pheto’s sister was then appointed one of the directors. Tweeps have also echoed how the dodgy timing of the appointments as well as how the alleged monies were given is raising eyebrows.
The company was bought “off-the-shelf” on 11 July 2018, after which new directors, including Pheto’s sister, were appointed. The grant was paid out sometime between July and 31 March 2019, the end of the NLC’s financial year.
