Internationally acclaimed actress Terry Pheto has denied any involvement in any fraud relating to funding by the National Lotteries Commission
She added that she holds the law in high regard and will cooperate fully with the investigation in an open and transparent manner.This is a difficult time for me, I would like to thank everyone for their unwavering support.
In a statement released by the SIU, Pheto, Lesley Ramulifho, Collin Tshisimba, Promise Kharivhe, Mashundu Shanduka, Charlotte Mampane, Jim Skosana, Botshelo Moloto and Rebotile Malomane allegedly bought the seized properties with monies obtained from the NLC under the auspices of grant funding.
The SIU stated that it had been investigating offences which took place between January 1 2014 and November 6 2020. Mampane served as the commissioner of the NLC for 10 years before resigning with immediate effect amid fraud allegations. Ramulifho is a lawyer, who is supplying legal services to the NLC. He is reportedly under investigation along with members of his staff employed in his Pretoria law practice for allegedly receiving at least R60 million in lottery grants.
Tshisimba owns a management company, Ndavha Management, while Kharivhe was arrested by the Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team in Johannesburg last year and charged with fraud that emanated from an altered grant application submitted to the National Lotteries Board for funding in October 2018.
