Terry Pheto's Bryanston home auctioned after NLC implication

On March 2, the SIU auctioned Terry's  Bryanston home after she was implicated in the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) scandal. The investigators claimed Pheto used the R3 million she was accused of stealing to build the luxury home.

Briefly News reported that the decision came as an order from the Gauteng division of the Court of South Africa. The SIU discovered Pheto allegedly used the non-profit organisation Sunguti Projects to obtain the R3 million.

Tweets from the SIU claimed that even president Cyril Ramaphosa favoured the auction.

"The SIU was, in terms of Proclamation R32 of 2020, authorised by President Cyril Ramaphosa to investigate allegations of corruption and maladministration in the affairs of NLC and the conduct of NLC officials, and to recover any financial losses suffered by the State or NLC."
