Yoh, things took a sour turn for the late Presley Chweneyagae's widow as she finds herself being dragged into his NLC corruption case. It was reported that a property linked to the late star was frozen by the SIU.
According to a report shared by the online news and gossip page MDNews on Tuesday, 23 December 2025, the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) were able to secure a court order to freeze the Pretoria house connected to the former The River actor, who passed away in May 2025 at the age of 40.
The order prevents any sale, transfer, lease, or disposal of the property while civil proceedings are prepared by the SIU, which must be instituted within 60 court days.

"The preservation order, issued by Judge M Victor on 18 December, targets Ms Charlaine Christinah Chweneyagae, in her personal capacity and as executrix of her late husband’s estate, as well as Mr Alfred Muzwakhe Sigudla, the Southern African Youth Movement NPO, and Domestic Baboon (Pty) Ltd, among others.
"Investigators allege the home was bought with about R889,000 misappropriated from a R15 million NLC grant intended for youth arts programmes. The SIU said the grant, approved for the Southern African Youth Movement and channelled through Domestic Baboon, wholly owned by Chweneyagae, was used to acquire the private residence."
