SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said there's nothing wrong with Arthur hosting Valentine's Day-themed event. City Press also reported that Kganyago stated that the Mnike hitmaker could continue doing business as usual as long as he does not sell the investigated lodge.

“The preservation states that the property cannot be sold because we are still going to the next step where we want it to be forfeited to the next level. Then, once we do that, it will be taken away. For now, we are avoiding a situation where it can be sold,” Kganyago explained.
