According to a post shared by MDN News on social media, the legendary Kwaito star's property was preserved after an investigation by the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) into the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) discovered that Mafokate's company won a R9.3 million tender from the South Africa Arts and Development Organisation to educate those from under-privileged backgrounds about the business of music.

Upon investigation, the SIU discovered that Mafokate's company only used R1.8 million on the project and the remaining R7.5 million to buy the seized property. Mafokate recently applied for his property to be released, arguing that he was entitled to the money because his business delivered. The application was thrown out the window.
