• Mafokate topped trends on Twitter, and South Africans want him imprisoned after the National Lotteries Commission fraud scandal

Arthur Mafokate has vowed to oppose the National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) attempt to forfeit his R7.5 million luxurious Midrand guest house, La Villa Rosa.

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) reported in 2013 that a non-profit organisation associated with Arthur requested lottery funding.

The organisation received R9.3 million in 2014 to fund the careers of upcoming musicians, but R4.5 million of the amount was used to buy a house that was traced to Mafokate when his record label 999 Music received the millions.
