Terry Pheto and her fashion designer friend Thula Sindi caught up in a chicken farm mess

The investigation into corruption within the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) has reached its second phase and new findings have been made.

The investigation, worth approximately R1.4 billion, has allegedly led to losses for both the State and the NLC due to corruption within the organization.

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) recently appeared before Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry to provide an update on the investigation.

One of the new findings involves award-winning actress, Moiteri ‘Terry’ Pheto, who has once again unduly benefited from NLC grant funding.

In December 2018, the NLC approved grant funding of R5 million to Zibisibix Non-Profit Company for a chicken farm.

However, it was discovered that the farm was purchased for R850,000 and the former chairperson of the NLC board, Professor Alfred Nevhutanda, signed the offer to purchase the farm in the Vaal area.

After receiving the R5 million, money was transferred from the account and payments were made into Terry Pheto’s, her sister Dimakatso Pheto’s, and her designer friend Thula Sindi’s accounts.

This revelation has caused a stir among internet users, particularly because Terry Pheto was previously implicated in the auctioning of her three-storey lavish house in Bryanston, which was allegedly built with funds siphoned from the NLC.
