Luxury properties and vehicles worth R14 million have been seized by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) in connection to the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) scandal. This move follows a preservation order issued by the High Court in Pretoria to seize assets owned by the former NLC board chairperson, Professor Alfred Nevhutanda. The seized assets will be sold at a public auction, and the NLC will be reimbursed for its losses. The case has implicated highprofile individuals such as Arthur Mafokate and Terry Pheto. The ongoing investigation serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in preventing corruption.
