Previously, the AFU and SIU obtained two preservation orders related to the NLC investigation, which includes 14 immovable properties.
The Asset Forfeiture Unit of the National Prosecuting Authority and the Special Investigating Unit have obtained a preservation order to preserve properties and luxury vehicles linked to the siphoning off of millions of rands from the National Lotteries Commission .“The order is to preserve four properties in Polokwane and Louis Trichardt and three luxury vehicles , with a combined value of R14 million,” said SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago.
“In some instances, existing NPOs were hijacked and the original members were replaced by different members linked to NLC board members or senior staff,” alleged Kganyago.“The project would be approved and very little of the funds would be spent on it. The offenders utilised the bulk of the funds to purchase fixed properties and expensive cars for their benefit. There would be no proper oversight as the management of the NLC was involved in the theft.
